H. H. Parker. An ecclesiastical Council, convened on Saturday, June 27th, having duly examined Mr. Parker, and ascertained that the First Native Church of Honolulu were desirous that he should become their Pastor, took the necessary steps for his ordination and installation. This ceremony occurred on the following day, being the Sabbath. A very large audience, of Hawaiians and foreigners, assembled at Kawaiahao Church, at the appointed hour. Minutes of theCouncil were read by Rev. 8. E. Bishop. Prayer by Rev. L. Smith. Sermon by Rev. B. W. Parker, (father of the Pastor-Elect.) Ordaining Prayer by Rev. T. Coan. Charge to the Pastor, by Key. W. P. Alexander. Right hand of Fellowship, by Rev. M. Kuaea. Charge to the people by Rev. E. W. Clark, (late Pastor of the Church.) Benediction by Key. R. Anderson, D. D. All the exercises were uncommonly solemn and impressive. During the Ordaining Prayer, while the venerable fathers in the Christian ministry, laid their hands upon the head of the youthful servant of Christ, there was a hushed stillness and solemnity, everywhere apparent. The young Pastor enters upon his highly responsible duties under the most favorable auspices. It is a most encouraging fact that the Rev. H. H. Parker, being a native of the Islands and having been entirely educated here, should have been called to this important Pastorate, with the unamimous sentiment ofall. Long may he labor and preach among a people who have enjoyed the services of Rev. Messrs. Bingham, Armstrong, and Clark. One incident in the exercises was most strikingly impressive and suggestive. Among those laying their hands upon the head of the young man, while the Ordaining Prayer was being offered, we noticed on the right, the Rev. Dr. Anderson, a representative of the American Churches, and on the left, the Rev. Mr. Kuaea, a Hawaiian Pastor. It was surely most becoming to witness these ministers of the gospel set apart the son of one of the venerable fathers, to officiate in the First Church of Honolulu. Surely the good work is to be carried forward, when the fathers, by reason of age, are no longer 49 {(DIHStTUS, M2O. Lecture upon the Genius of Shakspeare.

Wo doubt not our old associates, Rev. Mr. and Mrs. Strong* will do their best to make the Pacific Monthly contribute its share to accomplish these grand results. We would acknowledge a file of the National Preacher, published by W. H. Bidwell, of Now York. In a future number we intend giving a more extended notice of this important publication. The January and February numbers contain a portrait of tho Rev. A. Barnes, and his great sermon on " The Conditions of Peace," which has liecn so extensively noticed in the religious and secular papers ofAmerica. While the lecture contained much, the utterance of which fell pleasantly upon the ear, (and perhapsno other English poet will bear a greater amount of fulsome praise,) yet we must dissent from some of the speaker's remarks. It certainly did not har- monize with our ideas of generous and highminded literary criticism, for the lecturer to make so furious a dash upon Milton. It surely was not becoming to endeavor to place a chaplet on Shakespeare's brow, by robbing Milton—England's greatest epic poet —of that meed of praise which has ever been awarded to his genius. Mr. Mason, with much emphasis and more than a slight touch of tragic skill, expressed great �THE FRIEND, JULY, 1803. 50 surprise that Milton shoul I have dared to have asceuded into heaven or descended into hell, for the purpose of introducing characters into his great poem, Paradise Lost. Shakespeare did not after this manner, for Shakespeare is the poet of nature! This may all be true. Granting that Shakespeare is Nature's poet, why thus denounce the Puritan-poet Milton ? That is the question," as Hamlet would say. Mr. Mason having laid down the rule that no true poet, not even Milton, must dare to enter the spirit-land, observe his own violation of this canon of criticism, in the conclusion ofhis lecture. Unexpected as it may seem, the lecturer, while denouncing Milton, goes himself into the spiritworld, and presumes, dares, to compare the Son of God, the second person of the ever " going utterances of Hamlet, read the followAnnual Sermon, ing, from the first speech of Satan in the Delivered before the Iluwaiian Missionnry Society, Jane 14, 1863, first book of Paradise Lost: BY REV.

If our readers would view the deep-seated malice that dwelt in Hamlet's bosom, let them read Act 3, Scene 3, where Hamlet declines to kill the King while kneeling in prayer. Then he might have done it, but if he had done so, he would have sent a soul to heaven! Hamlet longs for an opportunity when he might send a soul to hell! "Then trip him, that his heels msy kiok at Heaven, And that his soal may be as damned and block As hell, whereto it goes." We cannot see how any one can discern traits which are noble and lovely in Hamlet's character.

Keeping in mind the fore- members hold were also present.— Polynesian. When it is said of Jehovah, " He looketh on the earth and it trembleth ; He toucheth the hills and they smoke—when he is represented as making the clouds his chariot, as careering on the wings of the tempest, as surrounding himself with a pavilion of dark waters, of riding upon a swift cloud into astonished Egypt—when we listen to the rustling of cherubic wings, to the roll of celestial chariots, and to the awful thunder-note, "as the voice of Almighty God,"—then we get a glimpse of the beauty, the power and the majesty of Bible figures. The Book of the Revelations is redundant with oriental iniHgery, with metaphors and similitudes of the most graphic character ; but all designed to represent, to symbolize, illustrate or enforce truths, in their relations to the Church of Christ, and their bearings on its history in this world. As in the Book of Daniel, the four great empires of Chaldea, Medo-Persia, Greece, and Rome, were prefigured under the emblems of a lion, a bear, a leopard and a nondescript with iron teeth and also under the figure of a colossal image of gold, silver, brass and iron ; so in the Revelation, the whole prospective history of Zion is foreshadowed under the emblems of seven seals, seven trumpets, seven plague vials; beasts rising from the sea and earth, horses, horsemen, locusts, dragons, hail, fire, blood, earthquakes, a darkened sun, baleful moon, falling stars, burning mountains, waters turned to worm-wood, and many other startling figures, calculated to awake the intensest interest, and excite the keenest curiosity in the reader. Much of the interest alluded to, is awakened by our text and its connections. When the seals, the trumpets, the vials, have all accomplished their mission ; or, when the seven great periods in the conflicts of the church and the progress of Christ's Kingdom, shall have ended in the triumphs of the gospel, then we find the peace and brightness and glory of this kingdom predicted under the images of " a pure river," tree of life, a new Jerusalem, with walls of gems, gates of pearls, streets of gold, with the ineffable effulgence of God and the Lamb for its light and its temple. The revelator sees a a new heaven and a new earth. Before his beatific vision, the sea retires, all the elements of nature move, and a new universe bursts into being; all renovated and more glorious than that which first waked the song of the morning stars, and the shouts of the sons of God—while the behest which spoke suns and systems into being, and brought light and order out of chaos, again echoes through the Universe, Behold 1 make all things new." By a large number of our most learned and reliable commentators, the scenes described in the last two chapters of the Revelation, including our text, are supposed to reliancy. , " �51 THE FRIEND, JULY, 1 863. fer to the glorified saints in their eternal the persecutions and conflicts which were to home.

Doubtless this is a true interpretation of righteousness. In Rev. xii: 1, 3, John says, the subject. And yet, like many other pre- " There appeared a great wonder in heaven, dictions in the Bible, there may be, and we a woman clothed with the sun, &c. Again, think there is, a two-fold sense to our text, a another wonder in heaven, a great, red dragprefiguration. which will be realized in this on, and his tail drew the third part of the world, and also a more glorious and final fulfilment in Heaven. To the former thought we propose to turn .our principal attention on this occasion. We inquire then : ' I. What is the import of the phrase, " A new Heaven ?" 1. Can it be that the great celestial dome, which seems to hang over our world, will be removed, or 2. That the heavenly orbs will cease to move in their circuits, and to measure their solemn cycles? Will they explode "with a great noise," melt with fervent heat, and pass away, to give place to brighter suns and more glorious worlds, which shall shine and roll forever? We think that neither philosophy, analogy, or scripture warrant such a conclusion. The language of Peter, (2 Peter, iii:lo,) litertdly understood, would seem to imply either an annihilation, or an entire reconstruction of the physical universe—but his vivid imagery, like numerous other figures in the Bible, probably implies great changes, modifications, improvements, renovations in the moral and spiritual world, for 3. It cannot be that Peter's language applies to the paradise of departed saints. More probably, the "New Heavens" spoken of, refer to the future enlightened, peaceful and holy state of the church on earth. Of this holy, happy state Isaiah speaks thus, ah. lxv:l7-25—" For behold 1 create new heavens and a new earth, and the former shall not be remembered or come into mind." Then follows the illustration of the prophet, applying his language to the future church militant. He speaks of the blessedness of the new order of things ; by building houses, planting vineyards, living long on the earth, enjoying peace, and rejoicing in the absence of want, of sin, and of sorrow. The language of John (Rev. xxi:2, 3) seems of similar import: And I, John, saw the holy city, New Jerusalem, coming down from God, out of heaven, ice. And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them." It is clear that the terms heaven and heavenly are often applied to the church, or to Christ's kingdom on earth. When we read in Rev. xii:7-12—" And there was war in Heaven, that Micliael and his angels fought with the dragon and his angels—that the former conquered —that there was no more place found in heaven for the dragon ; but that the old serpent, called the devil and satan, was cast out,—we understand this of " stars of heaven," &c. Now, by what follows in this chapter, it is clear that these wonders in heaven were figures of the Church under bloody persecutions instigated by the old dragon called the devil and satan ; for it is added, " The woman fled into the wilderness before the dragon, and that he cast out waters as a flood, or a flood of wrath and cursing, out of his mouth, after the woman," &c. Again in Key. xiii:6, 7, we read of a beast who received his power from the dragon or satan, and who blasphemed God, his name, his tabernacle, or church, and those that dwell in heaven, and he warred with the saints and overcame them, and he had power over the nations, and all on earth whose names are not written in the Book of Life, worshipped him. All this evidently refers to the persecutions of the church on earth. I will only add in illustration of the sentiment stated, that the term heavenly is often used as applying to the church and people of God on earth. In Eph. i:3, Paul speaks of the church as blessed with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places. To the Phillipians (eh. iii:2o) he says, For our conversation (or citizenship) is in heaven." In Heb. iii:l, the brethren are made partakers of the heavenly calling. In eh. viii:s, the priests are said to serve under the shadow of heavenly things, and in eh. ix:23, speaking of the Christian in comparison with Jewish Church, Paul says, it was necessary that the pattern of things in the heavens—i. c. the sanctuary, its vessels, ice. —should be purified with these (bloody sacrifices); but the heavenly things themselves, i. c. the saints, with better sacrifices. Again, eh. xii:22, 23, Ye are come unto Mt. Zion— the city of the living God—the heavenly Jerusalem, &c. All these texts, and many others that might be adduced, prove, as we think, that the terms heaven and heavenly often refer, in a figurative sense, to the church of God on earth, and that the phrase a new heaven, in Isaiah and John, may refer to the time when the church militant shall be so illuminated with the truth and spirit of God, so purified from the elements of tho world, so triumphant over sin and satan, and so transformed into the image of her holy Head and Redeemer, that she shall represent or symbolize a new heaven, a new and renovated state of being. " 11. We will now examine the phrase, A New Earth. In Scripture the term Earth sometimes means the entire globe on which we live. Sometimes it refers only to the appearances and conditions of its surface. Sometimes earth or world applies to its inhabitants, and sometimes to their moral character as sinners. In the days of Noah it is said, The earth was corrupt before God, andrthe earth was filled with violence. And God looked upon the earth and behold it was corrupt, for " all flesh had corrupted his way upon, the earth." In Isaiah xi:4, the Lord threatened to smite the earth with the rod of his mouth and with the breath of his lips to slay the wicked. Isaiah xiii:l3, » I will shake the heavens and the earth shall move out of her place." Isaiah xxiv: 1,4, 5, 6, 19, 20. The Lord maketh the earth empty and waste, and turneth it upside down. The earth mourneth and fadeth away, the world languisheth. The earth is defiled, therefore hath tbe curse devoured the earth. The windows from on high are open and the foundations of the earth do shake. The earth is utterly broken down, the earth is clean dissolved, the earth is moved exceedingly. The earth shall reel to and fro like a drunkard, and shall be removed like a cottage; and the transgressions thereof shall be heavy upon it; and it shall fall and not rise again. Jer., also, eh. iv:23, 24, 28, speaking of the commotions among the nations, and the distresses in Judea, uses the like bold and graphic figures. I beheld the earth, and 10, it was without form, and void ; and the heavens, and they had no light. I beheld the mountains, and 10, they trembled, and all the hills moved lightly. For this shall the earth mourn and the heavens above be Zeph. iii:B, says: "For all the earth shall be devoured with the fire of my jealousy." In the New Testament, also, we find the terms, earth, earthy, world, &c, used to express the same idea, i.e., the peoples of the world, and especially the wicked. John iii: 31, He that is of the earth is earthy, and speaketh of the earth." Jo. i:10, He was in the world, the world was made by Him, and the world knew Him not. Ch. xiv:l7, Spirit of Truth, whom the world can" The not receive, because it seeth him not." Ch. xv:18,19, If tho world hate you, ye know that it hated me before it hated you. If ye were of the world, the world would love its own, but because ye are not of the world, but 1 have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you." Ch. xvii:l4, The world hath hated them because they are not of the world, even as I am not of the " " " " world." Ch. xvii:2s, " O righteous Father, the world hath not known Thee, but I have known Thee," The foregoing are examples of a very large class of texts which speak of wicked men and nations under the terms earth, world, earthy and earthly. We may now assume that the phrase "A New Earth," implies physical, social and civil regenerations, rather than annihilation and re-creation. That a particle of matter was ever annihilated, is without proof j thaj a particle ever will be, is contrary to all known analogy or philosophy. The B*°~ also asserts that the earth abideth forever, and that whatever God doeth it shall be forever. Phyaical changes are constantly taking place in matter. Decomposition, new eoa»- �THE FRIEND, JULY, 1863. 52 binations, with the numberless modifications developed through chemical, mechanical, and other agencies, often so change the appearances of matter, as to excite the exclamation, all things are new. Many are of the opinion that the globe on which we live, with its surrounding atmosphere, will one day be wrapt in flames ; that the visible heavens over us will catch the conflagration—that all will explode with startling detonations, melt with vehement heat, and pass away forever, to be succeeded by a new and more glorious universe called from nonentity by the fiat of Jehovah. We are of the number who doubt such a literal interpretation of biblical figures. But we do believe: Ist, That the time is hastening, when the face of the earth shall be so renovated, improved, beautified by cities, towns and hamlets, by cultivated fields, by orchards and vineyards and gardens, by roads and ncqucductt and bridges, by chariots of fire, nnd flashing telegraphs, by the leveling of mountains and filling of valleys, by the subduing of jungle, the draining of marshes, and the irrigation of sandy wastes, and by the ten thousand thousand discoveries in science and improvements in art, in which the world is yet in her infancy, thnt it will be so filled with riches, and so udorned with robes of beauty and glory, as to warrant the language, and " A new earth." Hints of such changes improvements may now.be found on a limited scale, in many parts of the world. But 2nd : We apprehend that the import of the phrase, a new earth, will be more fully realized in the social and civil condition of our race. Instead of the selfishness, pride, envy, jealousy, malice, hatred, hypocrisy, and other baneful passions, which often afflict families and neighborhoods, embittering all our social relations, all will be harmony, peace, love and happiness. And thus it will be in all civil institutions and administrations. Governments will be organized on principles of justice, reciprocity and fraternity. They will be paternal, impartial, pacific. They will be for the many, not for the few. Law will be equity, and peace will throw her broad shield over right and goodness, while her bright sword will flash terror into the soul of the transgressor. In civil matters all men will be free and The proud oppressor and the equal. haughty tyrant, like fossil remains, shall be numbered with the monsters of past ages. Rulers shall be benefactors, not devourers, of the people. No foot of power shall tread upon the neck of man. Prison doors shall open, chains shall fall, poverty, weakness and misfortune shall be pitied, birth and complexion neither favored or despised ; personal merit shall be appreciated, physical, mental and religious liberty shall be accorded to all; no civil arm shall be raised to gratify the blind and bigoted zeal of those who would crush and chain the conscience of man. Righteousness shall wave her wand, truth shall shine forth as the light, justice shall hold her balance high in view of all nations, and the whole earth shall rest from wrong, and break forth into singing. HI. And now, what is to be understood by the phrase, No more Seal Can it be that the ocean and all the waters of our ptanet will be dried up? or. that this globe will give place to a new world without —.a.. «. sea ? Such is the opinion of many, but with all deference to their wisdom, I am inclined to believe that the term sen, in the text, is used only as an emblem or similitude of affliction and sorrow of nations, multitudes, peoples or individuals, in turmoil, commotion, strife, revolution, ice.., and this opinion is founded on the fact that a very free and ample use is made in the Bible, of the sea in commotion, to represent men agitated and swayed by human passion and in conflict with one another. " The wicked are like the troubled sea." In Ps. lxii:B, David in speaking of his sore trials through his enemies, says, Deep calleth unto deep at the noise of thy water-spouts; all thy billows and thy waves hnve gone over me." Ps. xlv:7, "Which stilleth the noise of tho sea, the noise of their waves and the tumult of the people." Ps. xliv:l, 2, " Save me, 0 God ; for the waters are come in unto my soul. I nni come into deep waters, when? the floods overflow me." Isaiah, also, often uses the same figure. Speakinrrof the gathering of the nations against Judah, and of the noise of their roaring, he says, "They shall roar against them like the roaring of the sea, and if one look unto the land, behold dnrkness and sorrow." Isn. v:29,30. Again, eh. xvii:l2, 13, " Woe to the multitude of many people, who make a noise like the noise of the sens ; and to the rushing of the nations who make a rushing like the rushing of mighty waters. The nations shall rush like the rushing of many waters." Ch. 1i:42, " The sen is come up upon Babylon. She is covered with the multitude of the waves thereof. Her cities are a desodry land, a wilderness." " A sound of a cry from Babylon, nnd great destruction from the land of the Chaldeans, because the Lord hath spoiled Babylon—and destroyed out of her the great voice, when her wnves do roar like great waters." In Jer. vi:23, a nation from the North is threatened against Judah, cruel and without mercy, riding upon horses, and with a voice or noise roaring like the sea. The same language is repented against Babylon in eh. 1:42. Ezekiel also mnkes n free use of the same bold figure in predicting the overthrow of Tyre. Ezck. xxvi :3, "I am against thee O Tyrus, and will cause many nations to come up against thee, as the sea causeth her waves to come up." Y. 18, 19, " Now shall the isles (nations) tremble in the day of thy fall; yea, the isles in the sea shnll be troub- " led at thy departure." "When I shall bring up the deep upon thee, and great waters shall cover thee." Similar language is used in describing the overthrow of the proud Assyrian Monarchy. " Thus saith the Lord God, In the day when he went down to the grave 1 caused a mourning ; I covered the deep for him, and I restrained the floods thereof, and the great waters were stayed. I made the nations to shake at the sound of his fall." Ezek. xxxi: 15. 16. Our Lord also uses like similitudes in foretelling the destruction of Jerusalem and the overthrow of the Jewish Commonwealth by the Romans. " There shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars j and upon earth distress of nations, with perplexity ; the sea and the waves roaring." Luke, xxi 26. " Men's henrts failing : for fear," ..." for the powers of heaven shall be shaken," that is, civil nnd ecclesiastical dignitaries shall be overthrown and subverted by the desolating waves of war, about to roll over the land. Jude, xiii, speaks of wicked and contentious men under the metaphor of " Raging waves of the sea, foaming out their own shame." St. John, in the Revelation, viii : 8, 10, startles us with the figure of " A great mountain, burning with fire, being cast into the sea, changing its waters into blood, destroying a third part of its animal life, and a third part of its ships. Again, the third angel sounds, and n great blazing star falls from heaven upon the rivers and fountains of water, and multitudes of men died of those bitter waters." Whnt more graphic emblems could be used to describe the bitter pangs and the direful horrors of war when its flaming is thrown among the nations ? In eh. xii : 13, the devil is represented tinder the metaphor of n great dragon, or serpent, casting out of his mouth a flood of wuters after the woman, (the church), who had fled into the wilderness. These waters can tic no more nor less than persecutors of the saints, instigated nnd filled with bitter hatred to the truth by Satan. Agnin, the Revelator is taken by an angel into the wilderness, where lie sees a great harlot arrayed in purple and scarlet, and decked with gold, and precious stones, and pearls, sitting upon many waters, having a golden cup in her linnd full of abominations nnd filthiness, anil drunken with the blood of the saints and martyrs of Jesus. As the Apostle stood amazed at this vision, the attendant angel explained the mystery thus, " The woman whom thou sawest is that great city, (Haliylon, er Rome), which reigneth over the kings of the earth.'' And"The waters which thou snwest where the harlot sitteth, are peoples, and multitudes, and nations, and tongues." Key. xvii. Thus, step by step, the Apostle is led over the fields and seas, and along the path of Zion's conflicts, until he comes to the final catastrophe, when tyranny, oppression, persecution and wnr, (all emblemized under the type of haughty Babylon or Rome), shall fall to rise no more, and when the shout of Zion's triumph, and the song of salvation shall echo and re-echo from heaven to earth, and from earth to heaven, and shall roll in an anthem of jubilee over the nations. " And a mighty angel took up a stone, like a great mill-stone, and cast it into the sea, saying, Thus with violence shall that great city, Babylon, be thrown down, and shall be found no more at all. Then a voice came out of the throne, saying, Praise our God all ye his servants, and ye that fear him both small and gTeat. And I heard, as it were, the voice of a great multitude, and as the voice of many waters, and as the voice of mighty thunderings, saying, Alleluia! Jorthe Lord God Omnipotentreigneth." Rev. xviii: 21; xix 5, 6. '• And I saw a new heaven and a new : earth. And there was no more sea." From the darkness of ages and from ancient bigotry, superstition, intolerance and persecution; from the ashes and ruins of a debased, selfish and brutalized world ; from the bitter waters of strife; from the tempest �53 THE FRIEND, JULY, 1863. and thunder of war; from the rivers, the seas, the oceans of sorrow and blood with which the earth has been cursed, St. John saw a holy church and a happy world coming forth in robes of henvenly light, adorned like a joyous bride for her nuptials, and shining like the glorious sun, breaking forth from a night of darkness and of tempest Let the entranced prophet spcuk, And I, John, saw the holy city, New Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. And I heard a great voice out of heaven, saying, Behold the tabernacle of God is with And men, nnd.Ho will dwell with them. God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain, for the former things are passed away. And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold I make all things new." Rev. xxi : 2, 5. " Whatever reference the foregoing language may have to the state of glorified saints in heaven, it does also, if we mistake not, assuredly hold up the picture and inspire the hopes of a brighter future for our world. It clothes our globe with the glories of heaven. It heralds the approach of golden ages when the physical, social, civil and spiritual features of the earth shall have been renovated and harmonized, so that the world will be a type of heaven, so that its songs shall be in symphony wirWthosc on high. And this jubilee of the earth will come. God has promised it. Prophets have foretold it. It is foreshadowed in the Bible by types, and symbols, and metaphors. The sweep of ages announces it. The signs of the times proclaim it. We read it in the stern conflicts and conquests of principles—in the solemn march of truth-rin the rapid translations, the multiplied copies and the widening circulation of the Bible—in the progress of art and science—in the exploration of continents, islands and oceans—in the facilities of communication among the nations—in the flashing of thought on the wings of lightning, and above all, in the silent spread and Calm, omsure triumphs of Christianity. over all as is itself diffusing it light, nipotent the earth, and old systems of idolatry, intolerance, oppression and bigotry are falling before it. Mind is being unchained. It is bursting from its cell and expatiating in new fields of light, and gathering, classifying and harmonizing the countless Taws and facts in the great handy-works of Deity, nature and revelation One thing is sure. Whatever side issues may arise, and whatever apparent reverses may be met in the great conflict of ages, truth and right will prevail at last. Righteous principles are assuming power on earth. The world moves in its spiritual as in its sidereal orbit. Civil and religious liberty force their claims upon the attention of the powers temporal and spiritual, and upon the of the gospel masses. The holy principles nre felt. The stone cut out of the mountain increases. The mustard-seed grows. The leaven works. The rill from the sanctuary depens and widens as it flows toward the Christ's kingdom will rise and great sea. extend and fill the earth. And who will not say Amen f So let it be. Let this kingdom, which is righteousness, and peace, and joy, prevail. And now, what can we, and what unit we do to hasten on this kingdom ? First, let us be loyal. Let us truly love and adore our King. Let us love his cause. Let us see to it that our hearts are with Christ; that we are in full and harmonious sympathy with Him ; that we urc Christian patriots; that our love for our Lord cannot die; that it will survive floods, tempests, fire and the wreck of all temporal things. Such adoration is the true result of success in the cause of truth. This is a power which moves all things—heaven, earth, man, and God. Without this love all else is vain. Words, forms, and nil the agencies and instrumentalities of human conception will make no true conquests for Christ. Second. If the heart be right, its love will be manifested. Its spiritual fires will work outwardly. There will be inquiry, like that of the converted Saul, " Lord, what wilt thou have me to do ? " There will be a senrching after the path of duty ; a desire to know the spiritual state of the world, the means to evangelize it, and our own personal duty in the work. Indifference and inactivity are inconsistent with true love or patriotism. All who love the kingdom of Christ will pray earnestly and while life lasts, " Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done on earth as in heaven." O, the glorious and unspeakable import of this prayer. The heart of the saint swells and fills with this desire. It is not mere sentimental pathos when he exclaims, " If I forget thee, O Zion, let my right hand forget her cunning." The true friend of Christ will also rejoice to use his substance and his influence in the The man who interests of this kingdom. gives grudgingly to the poor and suffering does not love the unfortunate ; and he who will not open his hand and offer his sympathies to his country in her hour of peril and of agony, is a rebel, and not a patriot. All who intelligently and truly love the kingdom of our Lord will be ready to engage in such personal services in this cause as the Master shall require. A sufficient number will stand ready to go among the heathen. Others will act as " Home Guards," as " recruiting officers," as producers, suppliers &c„ while those abroad and those at home will vie with each other tn desires, in prayers, in efforts nnd sacrifices to bring on the day when all shall know the Lord; when the ransomed nations shall return to Zion with songs and everlasting joy ; when the kingdom and the dominion and the greatness of the kingdom under the whole heaven shall be given to the people and the saints of the Most High God : when a new heaven and " a sea of sorrow and a new earth " without blood shall bless our race; when love shall spread her celestial wings over all kindreds of men, and when the peace-banner of our glorious Lord shall wave around the world. Missionary and Ecclesiastical Re-Organization. For weal or woe, the affairs of the American Protestant Mission have recently undergone some very important changes. These changes have been initiated by the Rev. R. Anderson, D. D., Senior Secretary of the American Board of Foreign Missions, and during his repeated conferences with the members of the Hawaiian Evangelical Association. The occasion calling for these changes was the fact, that a Christian community had grown up upon these Islands, which no longer requires to be led, but which, it is believed, combines all the essential elements for self-government and control. Starting with this primary idea, it necessarily led to a re-organization of the basis of Missionary operations and ecclesiastical government. To bring afaffairs upon this new platform, has required much discussion and conference, but we are most happy to add, all of these deliberations have been conducted in the most friendly and becoming manner. There has been manifested a noble spirit of concession and deferential respect for each other's opinions. The following measures have been carried : first. All the Fathers of the American Mission upon these Islands, will hereafter be supported by appropriations of the American Board of Missions. This measure was adopted in order to relieve the native churches and as an act of justice to those who came to these Islands for the sole purpose of planting the institutions of the gospel. Second. The necessary steps have been taken to call into the Christian Ministry, and place as Pastors over native churches, Hawaiians. This measure has been absolutely necessary, in consequence of the fact, that in a very few years, the Fathers of the Mission must be removed by death. Third. The Hawaiian Evangelical Association has been so re-organized as to carry forward the work of Foreign and Home Missions, educate a Native Ministry, publish religious books, and combine both theforeign and native evangelical communities on these Islands. In due time the detailsof this undertaking will be spread before the public. So far aa we are able to form a correct estimate of these changes, and judge of their necessity and importance, it is our firm conviction that great and lasting good will be the result to the present and coming generations upon the Sandwich Islands. Taking this view of the subject, we regard the visit of the venerable Dr. Anderson to our shores as marking an important crisis in out ecclesiastical affairs, Queen's Hospital.—At the biennial meeting of the ana a* among the note-worthy events in Hatrustees of this institution, June 22d, the following waiian history.

I �THE FRIEND,JULY, 1863. 54 REPORT Of the Examining Committee at the Annual Examination of Oahu College. The annual examination of Oahn College transpired on the 16th and 17th of June, in tbe spacious upper hall of tie College.* This ball was tastefully decorated with evergreens by tho fair hands ot tbe young ladies of tbe institution, assisted by tbe yoong men. The walls were hung with maps and drawings executed by the pupils in neat and beautiful style. Several expressive mottoes printed in moss upon white oambrio were arranged around the walls; as, " Live nnd Learn ;" " Onward and Upward." On tbe outside the beautiful flags of Hawaii and the United States floated in harmony upon one staff. The hall of examination was filled by the teachers snd students and an intelligent and appreciative audience. Classes were examined by the President, C T. Mills, in Geometry, Meteorology, Algebra, Elements of Criticism, and Intellectual Philosophy. These all acquitted themselves admirably, showing a thorough preparation on tbe part of the President, and a successful application on the part of tbe students. All were exceedingly interested in the Me teorologioal exercises. This is comparatively a new science, and its future developments are destined to awake the wonder of tbe world. Prof. W. D. Alexander examined classes in the Latin Reader, Sophocles, Virgil, and Analytical Geometry. Under tbe instruction of this truly classical professor, these pupils hare made excellent profioiency, showing a clear understanding of the ground over wbiob they have been so carefully led. In solving severe mathematical problems the class appeared admirably. Mrs. Mills examined classes in Chemistry, Geology, Botany, Natural Theology, and English Grammar, all of wbioh acquitted themselves to the admiration of the Committee. The Natural soienoes passed in rapid and animating review under the guidance of their accomplished and thorough teaoher, and both pupils aud spectators seemed to partake of the enthusiasm which an illustration of those soiences is calculated to awaken. The claases in History and Rhetoric taught by Miss H. F. Coan, showed a wakeful interest in their studies, and a good acquaintance with the branches in whioh tbey had been instructed, and gave much satisfaction to the Committee. Tbe paintings and drawings which adorned the walls were executed by the pupils under tbe direction of Miss Coan, and elicited much commendation. The classes of Mr. W. H. Bailey, assistant teacher, aoquitted themselves with honor in Arithmetic and Geography, including the exhibition of neatly executed maps, showing that they had been skillfully and faithfully taught. On both days of tbe examination the audience were entertained with exercises in Calisthenics, introduced and taught by Mrs. Mills. The music, the grace of motion, and the precision ol evolution of the young ladies, excited much enthusiasm on tbe part of the spectators. Tbe class in Vocal Music under tbe instruction of Mr. Sipp, thrilled the audience with performances of a high order, and gave evidence of the faithfulness and taste of their former instructor, Mr. Hassloober. Some of tbe selections exceeded anything of the kind before listened to on suoh an occasion. So spirited was tbe movement, and with so much soul was the expression rendered, thata listener remarked, "This is music on fire." Compositions were read in the following order Master Cbarlie Cooke gave us a good little account of Glaciers;" Master Eddie Damon entertained us by a story of Pets," beginning with Cowper's rabbits and ending with his own grey squirrel; Master Willie Csstle read us an interesting history of" Money;" Miss Minnie Rowell discoursed entertainingly on "Travels in California;" Miss Lisiie Lyons on a "Trip to Mauna Kea," "ouriosity snd wonder" were aroused by sll written dissertation on tbe attributes of the 1 by Miss A.

Armstrong amused us with a dendralogio fable, or A Convention of Trees," and Miss Ellen Lyman read a well studied essay on the Literary Claims of the Bible." Misses A. M Paris, and E. L. Smith in closing the readings presented ns with farewells; the first to the out-going members of tbe school; the second from that class in turn. Kach moved the fountains of tbe soul by reminisceDOes of Punahou, and by tender allusions to tbe past, present and future. It would not be well to specify the peculiar excellencies of any one or more of these productions, but we will remark in general, that they were all good, aud many of them of a high order. Some of these compositions received the compliment of audible applause, or the higher one of silout tears. Taking the examination as a whole, it was very satisfactory; and the Committee are happy to Bay that the President and his corps of teachers deserve all praise for their wise, energetic and successful labor in the College, and the students for their application to study, their progress in mental discipline, and in social nnd moral culture. The chief criticism we would moke is that some of the pupils spoke in so low a tone as to make it difficult or impossible for many of the audience to hear. This may be corrected if the students will gain more assurance and self possession by feeling that their teachers, the examining committee, and tbe spectators, are all in kindest sympathy with them. On each day of the examination the visitors were refreshed with a bountiful lunch, which did the highest credit to the training of tbe young ladies in the domestic department of tbe institution. The Rhetorical exercises were reserved for Thursday evening, June 18th, in the Stone Church at Honolulu. This large edifice was filled by an immense crowd of spectators, twice as many, perhaps, as ever assembled before on a similar occasion. The great audience room was decorated with devices and mottoes in evergreen; the Royal Hawaiian standard spread like a pavilion over the assembly; while the English, American, French, and German Digs hung over the platform. The exercises, under the direction of the President, opened with singing in solo and ohorus, accompanied by the piano. Then followed a declamation by F. O. Lyman, Reform Irresistible;" succeeded by another on Genius nnd Study" from Abraham Kahai, a native Hawaiian. Next came singing in quartette, and a solo and ohorus followed by an oration on Nature Contrasted with Art" by A. Caldwell, jr., and a second on Truth the great object of Study" by Joseph Emerson. Animated singing in trio and solo and chorus followed, after wbioh two orations were pronounced; one on " Patriotism," by H. P. Baldwin, another on Liholiho" by J. E. Emerson. A sweet solo and a spirited chorus were next in order, and the audience was then entertained by an oration on "Literature," by H. Thompson, and another on the Growth and Position of the United States," by A. B. Lyons. A graduating class of nine young ladies then presented themselves upon the platform to listen to a tender and paternal farewell address from their honored President, at the close of which eaoh of the nine was presented through the Treasurer, Mr. S. N. Castle, with a Diploma. Dr. Anderson next briefly addressed tbe class, when tbe ohoir, under the direction of Mr. Sipp, thrilled the great audience with the closing duet and ohorus, and the scene ended with a thousand expressions of satisfaction. On Friday evening, the 19th, a reunion of the teachers, pupils, friends and patrons of the institution took place in the parlors and college balls. Tbe evening passed in free and cheerful conversations, each one seeming to communicate and to enjoy happiness. A long table extending nearly the whole length of the hall was tastefully laid with a great variety of refreshments, while the presence of more than three hundred guests gave pleasing evidenoe that Oahu College has the confidence and oordial support of an enlightened Christian public The oommittee most heartily commends the institution to theprayers and the patronage of the friends of a sound Christian education.

Rowill, J " " " " " " " " " " The Exeter Hall Meeting.—The following extract from a private letter written by a Bostonian in London will be read with interest: London, Jan. 30,1963. Yesterday, in the evening, we went to the great Emancipation Meeting at Exeter Hall —really a very great affair, I send you this morning's Star, with a full account ofit. Exeter Hall holds about as many people as Boston Music Hall; it was packed full before the time of beginning; another large hall next it was then filled; and finally a great additional meeting was held in the street. Many thousands of people were present of middle classes, representing the different degrees of these. There were a few Southerners (rebels) close by me, and extremely small comfort they gained at that meeting. You must understand that other very large similar meetings have been held, with similar results, at Manchester, Liverpool, Bradford, Stroud, Bristol and other places. Further, you may have learned that the Times and theother pa pers in the Southern interests have been proclaiming that England had no sympathy for the North; that the South really represented the cause of freedom ; that England had abandoned her anti-slavery principles, and the like. These Meetings have been held to pronounce denial to all this, and to express sympathy with the North in its struggle against the sUa/c power. I must refer you to the publisrred account for particulars of the speeches and resolutions, explaining to you simply the manner in which they were delivered and received. I will say first, that this meeting, composed of over three thousand people (mostly nen, though there were many women), was most decidedly and enthusiastically in favor of the free North. The Times was hissed and groaned at as strongly as it would be in America. It wns denounced (along with other public prints and speakers) as belieing the feelings of the English people, The history of slave aggression and lesigns was clearly stated by the speakers ..nd the strongest case made out for the North. President Lincoln was cheered in a manner that would do credit to old Faneuil Hall, and the sentiment " Union & Emancipation" brought down the house with tremendous applause, the clapping and cheering was splendid people jumped up and waved their hats and handkerchiefs, presenting one of the most exciting scenes I ever witnessed. The resolutions, embodying the fullest sympathy for the President and the loyal people of America, were carried with hearty cheers and waving of hats and handkerchiefs. " No more Alabamas to prey upon American commerce," was ; stronglyapplauded. The sentiment by Thos. Hughes—" No recognition of the Slave Empire of America; no reception of a Minister representing the atrocities of slavery by England ; no pollution by the kiss of a slave ambassador on the hand of England's Queen ;" was received with tremendous applause, lastihg many minutes, and repeated. I wish you could have heard that meeting. It ought to be known all over America. It was a thorough vindication of old English reputation for devotion to Freedom, and an expression that I doubt not will accomplish what it was evidently intended it should— the strengthening of the hearts and the hands �55 THE FRIEND, JULY, 1863. of those fighting the battle of Freedom in America. The sentiment "No war with free America" was received with great applause. 1 can't tell half the effective incidents of the evening. Three attempts were made by Southern sympathizers to address the meeting, and I never saw men more completely put down. The first, a Mr. Field, tried for ten minutes to speak in favor of the South, and all the while he was greeted by jeers, groans and hisses, and made inaudible. The next man got up in the gallery, and after bawling inaudibly to a similar din, was taken out by the police. The last man read his resolutions, and was coughed and jeered off the stage. Field's resolutions in favor of the South were at last read. About a dozen voted for them, and one tremendous " No" pealed out against them. The speakers for the North were They listened to with great attention. ought to be publicly thanked from America. Hon. and Rev. Baptist Noel, Thomas Hughes, Rev. Newman Hall, and, indeed, all the speakers, ought to be remembered as friends indeed. Tbe old spirit of English devotion to freedom is waking up, I assure you, and does not intend being longer quiet or misrepresented. It takes old England some time to get started, but she is starting now, be assured, unmistakably. J. F. H. ADVERTISEMENTS. ADVERTISEMENTS. ADVERTISEMENTS. BAM'L. B. J. B. ITlUlirti.,. CASn.Pt.

All men are born free and equal;" so declared the Signers of the American De- " claration of Independence, eighty-seven years ago. Washington and his compatriots vindicated and established this great truth during the Revolutionary War, with reference to the Anglo-Saxon, or white races, scattered over North America. Unfortunately, the negro, or black race, was not included among those to whom this principle was applied, that, " all men are born free and equal." The time has now come when the negro race must be admitted into the enjoyment of the same rights as the white man. This we honestly believe to be the decree of Heaven, notwithstanding Jeff, Davis and his fellow rebels declare that negro-chattel slavery is, and shall be, the corner-stone of the Southern Confederacy. Here lies the grand secret of this fearful struggle. Some writer' may throw dust in the eyes of the people and the reading public, by declaring that this is not the cause of the war, but facts speak, in language not to be misunderstood. We arc glad that Americans in Honolulu are disposed to observe the day, and and we hope, in the midst of their festivities, they will remember their countrymen who are struggling to maintain the flag of the Union.

The records are to be kept in English and Hawaiian. It has also been announced by Dr. Anderson, and approved of by the missionaries of the American Board, that all persons supported by the funds of the Board, at Oahu College, must acquire the Hawaiian language. The Rev. H. H. Parker has been invited to instruct in this department during the coming year. His reputation as an adept in the language is very high. This is a movement in the right direction. The masses of the Hawaiian people will always speak this language. Their numbers are as one to thirty of the Anglo-Saxon, then let their language be cultivated and improved.

During our own trip to Micronesia, we saw enough of savage life to convince us that a Naturalist, with such aid as he can obtain at the islands, is compelled to undergo an amount of labor, expense and hardship, which would discourage a man of ordinary ability. Mr. Garrett's modesty we know would object to our making the public statement, but we are bold to assert that there are but few men in the world whose labors are intrinsically of more value to the cause of natural history. Take for example, his late exploration of the Society Islands. It is undoubtedly more thorough and important than that of any English, French or American exploring expedition that ever visited those islands. Should he ever return from the voyage upon which he is about to start, we hope the corporation of Cambridge University, or the Smithsonian Institute, or some other of our great National Institutions, will invite him to enjoy a pors tion of their income, and make him a peni sioner for life. We are confident no explorer is more worthy of their notice, or has contributed more largely to widen the sphere of science and knowledge. We are afraid his modesty will prevent him from urging his claim, and some less deserving man will enjoy the bounty. The Thirty-First. The Twentieth Anniversary of the Resto- ration of the Hawaiian flag, by Admiral Thomas, has just been celebrated with unwonted enthusiasm.

About two thousand Hawaiians were present at the feast. The Stone Church was crowded to lißten to the eloquent oration of the Hon. R. G. Davis.

Our advancement, indeed, cannot be compared with the magical growth of that miracle of the nineteenth century, California, which in a few short years, from an almost unknown wilderness, has sprung into being, a rich, a powerful State. Our progress has been more slow ; but, by comparing the past with the present, it will seem scarcely less wonderful. Let us glance back through the vista of fifty years, and view for a moment the prospect which 1812 presents to our sight. Let us peer into the gloomy darkness, into the black night of barbarism, which enveloped this nation, and brooded over these shores like a storm cloud. We shall then be enabled to judge of the advance of this people in civilization, untrammeled by slander or prejudice. We shall then be forced to acknowledge that the present state of the nation, which might appear to a superficial observer to be but a small improvement on heathenism itself, is, when compared with its for er degradation and woe, like the glory of the rising sun after the deep shades of midnight. What was the political and social condition of the Hawaiians hall a century ago ? There have been writers who have, with all the allurements of romance, portrayed the innocence and simplicity and happiness of savage life in the island world. They have drawn, with exquisite beauty, pictures of sunny skies, and fairy isles, always clothed in the richest verdure, and resting calmly on the bosom of the placid ocean, whose blue waves breaking gently on the snowy sands, eternally murmur melodious songs of joy. They have sketched the tall waving cocoanut trees, and the silver waterfall, enjeweled with bright rainbows. They have thrown voluptuous beauty and grace around the naked forms of the inhabitants, who, with no cares to perplex and no wants to be gratified, revel in pleasure and contentment unalloyed; who ride on the foam-crested surf, or dance with gay delight on the green turf at the brink of the crystal stream. These fanciful writers have represented the fat and lazy chiefs as the personifications of nobility and dignity ; and have attributed to them a father's love and tenderness for their child-like subjects, which is unknown among the jealousies and ambition of civilized life. But truth tells a different story. She blots out, with her impartial brush, the brightest and most captivating parts of the picture, and leaves in their place dark and heart-rending scenes of superstition, and vice, and cruelty, which seem all the more dreadful because existing on such beautiful isles, fit abodes for pure love and virtue.

Ed of three classes, hereditary nobles or chiefs, priests, and serfs or slaves. These last formed the body of the nation. The various islands of the group were ruled by despotic kings, who were rarely able to exercise their kingly prerogative for a long period in undisturbed peace. Wars and rebellions were of frequent occurrence. Powerful chiefs, actuated by ambition or revenge, often usurped the government, took the power into their own hands, and crushed the miserable people beneath their iron sway, as their predecessors had done before them. The wild yell of conflicting furies filled the :tir but too frequently ; it startled the gloom of midniuht with its ferocity, as the unsuspecting inhabitants of some village awoke to find their huts wrapped in flames, and their lives at the mercy of a band of blood-thirsty warriors. It echoed through the fruitful valleys, or it rung with savage exultation from the dizzy summit of the cragged precipice, as the conquered victim was forced to take the dreadful leap. In battle, the Hawaiians gave no quarter ; they showed no mercy. Death and destruction prevailed. Blood- flowed like water. Hence their wars were peculiarly exterminatins. If the life of the vanquished foe was preserved, it was only that he might be immolated on the disgusting altar of an " _ �60 THE FRI E M I), AUGU S T , I8• S. THE Fill END, AtWUST 4, 1803. "The Irrepressible Conflict." The time had come when the conflict waged. The South took its stand on the side of slavery, and the North on the side of freedom. At the opening of the war the question nt issue was not clearly and distinctly discerned by many at the North, although nt the South, slavery was openly avowed to lie the comer-stone of the Southern Confederacy. As the war advances, the question of slavery comes forth more and more clearly to the light. No clear-minded person, acquainted with the subject, hesitates for one moment to acknowledge this point. As the struggle progresses, the colored man is seen to rise. His standing becomes more elevated. He now wears the U. S. uniform. One colored man has a Surgeon's commission in the U. S. Army. A colored man represents Hnyti at Washington, and has been admitted to the highest social position at Washington. Colored soldiers at Port Hudson, and elsewhere, have shown thnt they are fully capable of fncing the " chivalric sons" of the South. Jeff. Davis has threatened to hang officers if commanding colored soldiers, and taken ns prisoners, but he dare not do it, nor dare he hang a colored soldier who wears an U. S. uniform. Not only has it been necessary to conquer Southern prejudices, but Northern prejudices were equally stubborn. A brighter day is dawning for the colored people. The work of social re-organization is progressing in all parts ol the country.

The fable, as near us we can now recollect, run after this manner—the fly alighting upon the horn of the ox, very graciously and patronizingly remarks, " If my weight and presence disturb you, I will remove." The ox replied, " I was not aware of your presence." The moral of this fable is manifest. We know not how often we have been reminded of this fable in reading notices of Bishop Colenso's book, He seems to hnvc alighted upon the Pentateuch, and in the style of the fly, says, " I am very sorry to lie under the necessity of publishing to the world that the first five books of the Bible are not divinely inspired, yet having visited Africa and had a palaver with a Zulu chief, I have come to this opinion." If Moses should speak from heaven, would he not say to the Bishop and the whole insect tribe of impugners of that The civil code ol Louisiana thus defines a slave: portion of the Sacred Volume, Your com" " A slave is one who is in tlio power of a i:ioster to whom he belongs, The master may sell ments are worthless, for the Son of God has him, dispose of his person, his industry, and his stamped the seal of Divine Inspiration upon labor, lie oun do nothing, possess nothing, nor acquire anything but what must belong to his my writings."

Colenso denounces this u. " prewhole slimy, scaly, reptile monstrosity, by whioh Mr. a man is changed into a ohattel,—a person is sumptuous and impious assumption." MTtcl Into a thing,—a soul is transmuted Mnson, we think, makes a satisfactory reply : at which we commend to our renders for perusal. If Colenso's book is to bo judged of by the extract quoted by Mr. Mason, then we could not possibly furnish a more apt illustration of the fable of"The fly and the ox." We have not as yet read Colenso's book, but from the reviews nnd notices nnd extracts, we do not infer that honest believers of the Bible havennythiiig to fear from these attacks. Colenso is not the first fly which has alighted upon the horn of the ox. KekDay. uaofCnhtGohp.vlaeirnno Among the noteworthy incidents of the 31st, we observe that, according to the Polynesian's report of proceedings at the Church, •' a prayer was offered by his Excellency Governor Kekunnaoa." Now if we have any persons in our community so conscientious that tliey could not unite in a prayer offered by a Protestant ordained minister of the gospel, in a Protestant Church, we are glad that our Protestant ministers have so faithfully preached the gospel that our Governors are willing and able to offer prayer on a public occasion, like the Anniversnry of the Restoration. This is certainly one of the most beautiful and convincing arguments that the American Missionaries have not labored in vain, or that their work has been a failure. We have no doubt the Governor —the venerable father of His Majesty— could most feelingly address the Ruler of Nations and Guardian of the Hawaiian people, for he has been intimately acquainted with the troubles and perplexities of this people, during Consul Charlton's time—the French troubles the Carrysfort affair, and, in fine, all the nation's pilikias from the days of Kamehameha 1., to the present time. Our worthy Governor has frequently done and said things that were deserving of record. It was His Excellency that refused to exchange a salute with the American Commodore on the Sabbath. The American frigate was off Honolulu Sabbath morning. An officer was sent on shore to arrange for National civilities. The officer found the Governor nt church, nnd when application was made respecting the proper time for firing salutes, he courteously nnd properly replied, " Apopo"—to-morrow. — News from the U.

StauirlE oned ditor. A copy ot the Gloversville Standard, published inGloversville, Fulton County, N. V., has been received, from which we learn that the editor and proprietor, Geo. W. Henton, Esq., was n sailor in the Pacific n few years ago. From editorials and extracts, we learn that the editor is a good staunch Republican, battling for the Union, and has a brother who is a soldier in Uenenil Hunter's Division, South Carolina. This brother writes long letters for the Standard informing the readers of said paper all about " Dixie," and the war. As years roil away there is nothing more interesting than to trace out the career of many whom we have known as seamen " before the mast." In another column we report a Naturalist, whom we first met on board a whale ship. Not long since, we received a long letter from the Rev. G. A. Silfoersten, now Methodist preacher in Vermont, whom we first knew as n Swedish sailor discharged from U. S. Ship Constitution, in 1846, Another preacher, we lately heard from, in Michigan, who visited our study a few years ago for books. Several are now in the Federal army, in all capacities Iroin common soldiers and upwards. When young men go to sea, and will improve their opportunities for observation, and improvement of their health, and possess a desire for advancement, they find the sailor's life well calculated to elevate and ennoble their characters. It may have its rough features, but if a young man is resolute and determined to get ahead in the world, he will find an open field nnd fine opportunity. Lately a son of one of our old residents, landed from a China bound clipper. He was certainly a fine specimen of an American seaman. His captain spoke of him in the highest terms, and not mnny years, will roll away ere he commands an American clipper. Seamen, avoid a sailor's vices, improve your opportunities, take books with you to sea, learn navigation, be ambitious of promotion, stick to your ship, respect your officer*, !«■ men.

At the coronation ol King Radama 11., was witnessed an event worthy of record.

Radama is a Protestant and his wife a Catholic. Major- General Johnstone represented Queen Victo- ria, and M. Lainliert Napoleon 111.

Both were mann-iivering for prestige at the Court of Radama ; but the King, turning to the Rev. Mr. Ellis, remarked, -'What shall I do ? for I have not two heads to crown." Mr. Ellis very sensibly remarked, " Crown yourself." His advice was followed. This is not the first time in the history of the world that an honest missionary has been asked liis advice and given it so that professed diplomats have been out-witted ! resented. New Sailor's Home in China.—By a copy of the Hongkong Press, by Capt.* Holdsworth, we learn that the friends of seamen are making a noble effort to erect n Sailor's Home.

In agriculture, as in commerce, the effect of the Protectorate has been to slacken the rate of progress. The native population is dwindling with appalling rapidity, owing to the daily increasing prevalence of drunkenness and debauchery. These are openly countenanced by the French officials. Nowhere can more utter shamelessness be witnessed than at the Pre Catalan—a lawnlike meadow which extends in front of the Governor's palace, and is. in Here, in the fact, one of its dependencies. presence of the gensdarmes and soldiers, under the very eyes of the Protectorate authorities, and in utter defiance of the native laws, dances of the most obscene kind are executed by half-drunken Tahitian girls.

Amidst a population so dissolute, it is not wonderful that even Catholicism should make little progress. What is much more deplorable is, that the successful efforts of Protestant missionaries should have been arrested, that Protestant schools should be closed, and a large proportion, consequently, of the native children be growing up in utter ignorance, although by far the greater number of the inhabitants, with the Queen at their head, profess Protestantism.

By the Comet, Captain Smith, we have received our files ol San Francisco papers to August 13, and of New York to the last of July. The general American news is encouraging. The Federal victories at Gettysburg, Vicksburg, Port Hudson, and in various other parts of rebeldom, have inflicted a most stunning blow upon the so-called Confederacy. The intelligence from various Southern sources is fully confirmatory of the statement that the Southern Confederacy will ere long be among the things that were. Such as the following facts indicate unmistakeably that Northern principles will prevail and Southern die out. In Kentucky, at the late election, the Union men cast a vote of 20 000 majority. In Missouri, the Emancipation party is growing stronger every day —immediate emancipation is their watchword. In Western Virginia, the political state of affairs is most favorable. In North Carolina, a strong party has arisen denouncing Jeff. Davis, and loudly calling for the return of their troops. In Louisiana, a proposition has been made to return to the Union. In Maryland, the Union feeling is very strong. In various parts of the country colored soldiers are enlisting, and before January, 1864, it is estimated 100,000 will be under arms. In all parts ol the loyal North the strength of the United States gov- submit. The European intelligence is interesting. The Times had heard of the recent Federal victories, and received the news with surprise, disappointment and satisfaction !—surprise at the sudden collapse of Vicksburg; disappointment of the removal, owing to Lee's retreat, of n proi-pert of the termination ol the war; and satisfaction in contemplating England's wisdom in not prematurely yielding to the pressure for recognition of the Confederates. must Sailing of the Manuokawai for Marquesas.—ln consequence of the protracted voyage of the Morning iitar among the islands of Micronesia, the Board" of the Hawaiian Evangelical Association has chartered this vessel to convey the annual sup- " plies to the missionaries on the Marquesas Islands.

Damon, on the Twentieth Anniversary of the Restoration of the Hawaiian Flag. [Published by requex.) I Samuel, vii : 14—" And the eltles whioh the Philistines bad taken away from Israel, were restored to Israel." The provisional cession of these Islands to England, and their Restoration, are among the most memorable events in Hawaiian history. They stand forth distinctly defined upon the historic page, nnd are most care. fully remembered by many now living. Events somewhat similar occurred in the history of the Jewish people. In order to preserve a proper remembrance of the restoration of certain cities to that people, the prophet ■' Samuel took a stone, and set it between Mizpeh and Shen, and called the name of it Ebenezer, saying. Hitherto hath the Lord helped us." It would be no unbecoming act for the Hawaiian people to erect a suitable monument, and upon its four sides to inscribe as follows : 1. Hawaiian Islands provisionally ceded to England, February 25th A. D. 1843. 2. Hawaiian Islands restored to their rightful Sovereign, July 31st, A. D. 1843. '3. Hawaiian Islands declared and acknowledged an Independent and Sovereign State, by the Queen of England and the King of the French, November 28th, 1843. 4. Eben-ezer. Hitherto hath the Lord he.lped the Hawaiian people. These four inscriptions graven upon the four sides of an enduring monument, would be no unbecoming record. The popular enthusiasm with which the 31st of July has been observed during the last twenty years, is a most significant indication of the deep impression which the events of that d.y made upon the national mind. King, chiefs and people felt that they had been grossly wronged. This idea was forcibly and happily expressed in the brief address ol His Majesty Kamehameha 111., at the time of the cession : " Where are you, Chief*, people, and commons from my ancestor, and people from foreign lands.

His Majesty Kamehameha IV., in his inaugural speech, thus aptly and truthfully referred to the enjoyed by foreigners: " His lajesty Kamehameha Hid, now no more, was pre-eminently the friend of the foreigners, and I am happy in knowing he enjoyed your confidence and affection. He opened his heart and hand with a royal liberality, and gave tillhe had little to bestow <myou little to ask. In this respect I cannot hope to equal him, but though I may fall far behind, I shall follow in his footsteps." Under this government, the missionaries, both Protestant and Catholic, have been allowed not only to carry forward their philanthropic enterprises unmolested, but encouraged therein to an extent that such bodies have seldom experienced in the most civilized and Christian nations on the globe. Look at the apology of a Protectorate Government at Tahiti, under which the English missionaries have been barely suffered to remain. The last member of the London Missionary Society—that pioneer Society in Polynesia —it is reported is "bout to take his departure for England. Look at New Zealand— there even the English Church Missionary Society, has been almost at open war with the Colonial Government. The missionaries have espoused the side of the Aborigines and stood by them, while the Government, in order to foster the Colony, has made flagrant inroads upon the rights of the natives of the soil. War and bloodshed have been the unhappy result. Thus you might circumnavigate the globe on a voyage of observation, and I do not believe you would find on any island or continent an instance where two races have met and lived together more harmoniously than upon the Hawaiian Islands. The first drop of hostile blood is yet to be shed, since those days to which I have now called your attention. In reviewing the past, I would most gladly draw a veil over the deedsofthose whohave labored to destroy this people and nation. Many ot these men have already come to an untimely end. I would here repeat a remark which I made eighteen years ago, when preaching on the second anniversary of the restoration : " The more I become acquainted with the history of affairs at these islands, the sentiment becomes more strongly impressed upon my mind, that the Sandwich Islands is no field for wicked men and opposers of truth and righteousness, to think of practicing their schemes before ' high heaven,' unless they are willing to incur the awful risk of being pursued, evefvip this world, by the retributive justice of God." While wicked men and opposers have been afforded an opportunity for displaying their real and animus, the friends of order, good government and the native race have enjoyed an excellent opportunity for, directly and indirectly, exerting their good offices, fn no spirit of boasting, can I point to the strong and conservative influence of the American missionaries. It is not claiming for them anything more than the future impartial historian will award them, to say it was this element in the troubles of 1843, which •emd as a mighty bulwark for this nation's defence. Two individuals I would here re- Srivileges fer to, who hud been formerly connected with the American mission. One of these, Mr. Richards, was lubonng in Europe, and the oiher, Dr. Judd, was laboring at these islands. In the providence of God, from their knowledge of this people and their language, they performed a task which no stranger could have accomplished, however great his learning or ability. In subsequent years others were invited to offices of trust and responsibility in this government. The names of Ricord, Lee, Wyllie, Andrews, Armstrong, Jnrves, Hall, Robertson. Bates, Allen, and others might lie mentioned who have I'nithfully and manfully labored for the good of this nation. It has been their privilege to witness the good and happy results of their labors. While thus reviewing the past, and looking forth upon the Nation's present condition. I cannot but glance an eye forward to the unknown future. The question naturally arises, •' What is to come ?" What are our future prospects? There are some who take the most sombre views of prospective events, while others look forward more hopefully. While my mind is not altogether free from anxiety, I am far from settling down into despondency. Can we not trust that kind Providence which has led us hitherto? Has God carefully watched over this government and nntion.down to 1863,and is He now going to desert us t No. I believe His " banner of love" is still over this people. Again, if necessary, will He interpose his protecting shield. New difficulties may arise, but let us be prepared to meet them with a courageous heart and a firm trust in God. Surely each one of us may exclaim, in the language of the Psalmist. " The lines are fallen unto me in pleasant places; yea, I have a goodly heritage." Let us evince our gratitude by laboring for the good of the people among whom our let is cast, and in the language of another, •' go forth to meet the shadowy future without fear, and with a manly heart." Most Remarkable Speech.—In the Advertiser of the 20th ult. was published extracts from a speech of the Hon. A. H. Stephens, now Vice President of the Southern Confederacy. That speech was delivered in a convention of the State of Georgia, before the Act of Secession was passed. He put the subject in a clear light. He seemed inspired for the occasion. Results have taken place as he predicted. No Northern man ever stated his view of the subject so strong. If any of our readers can furnish a copy of that speech, entire, we should be glad to see it republished. It is a most remarkable document. Read it. Jeff. Davis' Library Captured—A letNew York Herald, of July 27th, dated Jackson, (Miss.,) July 12th, says: The library of JeffDavis was captured, comprising several bundles of private political papers of the arch-traitor, and several letters upon secession, of dates back to 1852. The whole collection brings to light the history of secession. There are letters from both Northern and Southern traitors. ter to the Mr. Synge's Lecture. It is no credit to a man to speak when every one is speaking, or lecture when lectures are common, but when gentlemen are willing to lead off they merit special thanks from the public. Messrs. Mason and Synge have set a good example to the literary gentlemen of Honolulu. The announcement that Mr. Synge would lecture upon "some of the humorists of the present century," created a pleasant surprise in our community, so much of it as had not gone to set the volcano, or otherwise rusticate in different parts of the islands. Considering the fact that so many were absent, we think the audience decidedly large. After allowing the Queen's Hospital to take ihc pecuniary avails, amounting to more than $100, a fnr more valuable result will be derived by the community nt large. It was exceedingly pleasant to listen to a speaker whose allusions, readings and anecdotes indicated that he was familiar with the writings of not only " Scott, Irving and Lamb," but the whole range of modern literary celebrities on both sides of the Atlantic. When our neighbors return from their summer excursions, we hope an invitation will be extended to Mr. Synge to repeat his lecture for the benefit of the Queen's Hosbital, or some equally worthy charity. It was once our privilege to listen to a literary address of the Hon. Edward Everett, whose polished style and classic language riveted the attention of the audience for full two hours, but we think Mr. Synge's lecture of one hour and forty minutes was equally successful in arresting and retaining the attention of the audience. The peroration we thought exquisitely neat and peculiarly happy. In the language ofanother he remarked : " I have culled you a nosegay of flowers and have brought nothing of my own but the thread which ties them." As the beauty of a bouquet of natural flowers consists mainly in their selection and arrangement, so we think Mr. Synge succeeded most admirably in his choice selection and sidlful arrangement of flowers culled from the wide range of English and American literature. As an additional illustration of Lamb's humor, the following specimen of autobiography is worthy of publication. We do not remember to have met with any similar literary composition which will at all compare with it for quiet humor and delicate execution. Charles Lamb's Autobiography.—The following was published in the New Monthly Magazine a few months nfter Lamb's death, with the preface which precedes it: " We have been favored, by the kindness of Mr. Upcott, with the following sketch. �THE written in one of his collections by Charles Lamb. It will be read with deep interest by all, but with the deepest by those who had the honor and the happiness of knowing the writer. It is so singularly characteristic, that we can scarcely persuade ourselves we do not hear it, ns we read, spoken from his living lips. Slight as it is, it conveys the most exquisite and perfect manner and habits of our friend. For the intellectual rest we hfi the veil of its noble modesty, and can even here discern them. Mark its humor, crammed into a few thinking words—its pathetic sensibility in the midst of contnist —its wit, truth and feeling.—nnd, above all, its fanciful retreat at the close, under a phantom cloud of death : Charles Lamb, born in the Inner Tcmp'e. 10th February. 1775; educated in Christ's Hospital ; afterwards a clerk in the East India House ; pensioned off from that service, 1825, after thiny-three years service; is now a gentleman at large; can remember few specialities in his life worth noting, except that he once caught a swallow flying (testa sua manu). Below the middle stature; cast of face slightly Jewish, with no Judaic tinge in his complexional religion ; stammers abominably, and is therefore more apt to discharge his occasional conversation in a quaint aphorism or a poor quibble than in set and edifying speeches; has consequently been libeled as a person always aiming at wit, which, al he told a dull fellow that charged him wi h it, is at least as good as aiming at dullness. A small eater but not drinker; confesses a partiality for the production of the juniper-berry; was a fierce smoker of tobacco, but may be resembled to a volcano burnt out, emitting only now and then a casual puff. Has been guilty of obtruding upon the public a talc in prose, called Rosamond Gray,"—dramatic sketch, named " John Woodvil,"—a " Farewell Ode to Tobacco,"—with sundry other poems and light prose matter, collected in two slight crown octavos, and pompously christened his works, though in fact they were his recreations, and his true works may be found on the shelves Leadenhnll st ret, filling some hundred folios. He is also the true Elia, whose essays are extant in a little volume, published a year or two since, and rather better known from that name without a meaning than from anything he has done, or can hope to do in his own. He also was the first to draw public attention to the old English dramatists, in a work called " Specimens of English Dramatic writers who lived about the Time of Shakespeare," published about fifteen years since. In short, all his merits and demerits to set forth would take to the end of Mr. Upcott's book, and then not be told truly. "' " He died IS , much lamented. Witness his hand, Charles Lamb. ISth April, 1827.' " FRIKM), SEPTEMBER, 96 of the 689 of the Southern Clergy! French Clergy!! 6000 of the English Clergy!!! This is rather u furmiduble array of clergymen. Let us now point out to our renders what they are doing or trying to do. The ninety-six Southern clerpymen have published an appeal to the world against the manner in which the government of the United States is trying to put down the rebellion in the Southern Stales. Their nppeal is published in some of the newspapers. We met with it in the N. Y. Times. It is worth reading. Those clergymen protest against being called rebels and traitors, but particularly do they protest against the Emancipation Proclamation. Our readers will find an answer to this nppeal in the Independent of June 18th. That is worth reading. Read both sides. The six hundred and eighty-nine French Protestant clergymen have addressed the ministers and pastors of all Evangelical denominations of England, Scotland and Ireland, to sustain President Lincoln's Emancipation proclamation, and otherwise exert their influence against the triumph of the government of Jeff. Davis, asserting that " the triumph of such a cause would put back the progress of civilization and of humanity a whole century. It would make angels weep in heaven and demons rejoice in hell." (See the appeal, in P. C. Advertiser, of August 20.) Six thousand clergymen in Great Britain, at trie latest accounts, had already signed the nppeal. The work was going bravely forward. No man, either clergyman or layman, in France, England or the Sandwich Islands, can stand aloof and say that he has no interest in the issues of this struggle. It is a struggle in which the whole human race has an interest and a very deep interest. If the South succeeds then a principle is established that degrades every man who has not a white skin! Let the South triumph and the effect will be felt in the heart of Asia, Africa nnd Hawaii. The triumph of tne Southern rebels would, in the language of the appenl of the clergy of France, •' enable the friends of the slave trade, and of slavery, in all lands, to hold up their heads, ever ready as they are to reappear at the first signal,—in Asia, in Africa, and in the great cities of Europe. It would give a fatal blow work of Evangelical missions," ice. In addition we say, it would be a deadly thrust at Hawaiians, because their King is not a white man.

By the Hamburg schooner Kehrnrieder, Captain Rachau, we have advices to the 27th of June, from the port of Apia, Upolu, in the above group, from which we learn that Mr. Augustus Unshelm has completed various improvements which afford facility ft) vessels to discharge or ship cargo, to repair, to heave down, und to refit generally. The above-named gentleman has large and commodious stores, and always keeps on hand a supply of ship-chandlery. For the convenience ofpassenger ships, bound from these islands or from California, to the Australius, he has built a large iron scow, for the purpose of supplying water with the utmost dispatch. He has also completed large scows capable of discharging or shipping 30 to 40 tons of cargo at one time. We learn further that there is now running a regular line of packets—comprising first-class vessels of from 300 to 600 tons burden—from Apia to London and Hamburg, thus offering facilities for the prompt shipment of cargo to the home markets, which must prove acceptable to those of the whaling fleet desirous of forwarding their oil to Europe under a neutral flag. Supplies of yams are also obtainable at the stores of Mr. Unshelm. One of the chief improvements we note, is the erection of a large signal lantern, showing red, blue and white lights, right opposite the entrance to the harbor, and at an elevation of about 100 feet above the level ofthe sea. The Desdemona, of New Bedford, Captain Bates, had just sailed from Apia, with 800 barrels of sprm oil, and 35 months out. The ship Cesar Godeffroy, Captain Fruchtenicht, (600 tons,) was loading for home. We regtet to learn that several vessels bearing the Peruvian flag, had been for some weeks cruising amongst the Samoa and neighboring islands, kidnapping natives. In some instances force had been employed to On capture the unsuspecting islanders. some of the smaller islands, out of populations numbering several hundreds, not more than l&or20 people have been left, including the native missionary teachers. One vessel on board of which dysentery had appeared amongst the unfortunate natives, had run down to Sunday Island, in the neighborhood of New Zealand, where having landed the sick, the disease spread so virulently that the white settlers were nearly all carried off. The few who survived have since removed to this port. The dead and dying natives were left abandoned on the sands of the beach, and the vessel started to kidnap another cargo.

Sstsntsxn Yiabs in Polynesia—Missionary Life, Travels and Researches in the Islandsof the PaclHc— By the Rev. George Turner, of the London Missionary Society. London John Snow, Paternoster Row. 1859. : In due time we shall have a very respectable series of books upon Polynesia. Every year one or more is added to the list. A few months ago we noticed Mr. Hopkins' work upon the Sandwich Islands. We have now lying upon our table, a new book on the Samoan Islands, lying among the •' Isles of the South." The writer of this work enjoys the reputation of having been a most faithful and successful missionary under the patronage of the London Missionary Society. He was first stationed upon Tanna, one of the New Hebrides, and subsequently removed to the Samoan or Navigators' Islands. If our limits would permit we should furnish our readers with copious extracts. The history of Missionary efforts at Samoa strikingly resemble those upon the Hawaiian Islands, prior to the year 1843 or 1844. By some of our readers it will be remembered that the Samoan mission was established by the Rev. John Williams, the Martyr of Eromanga. As a mission, it appears to have been in the highest degree successful. The mission Seminary for educating Samoans as missionaries to go to remote and unevangelized islands, has been one of the most prosperons educational institutions in all Polynesia. On pages 113 and 114, the writer thus refers to his medical and surgical knowledge: A little surgical knowledge which I had "picked up from a session at the anatomy class in the Andersonian University of Glasgow, was all of service; I only wished that I would it had been more. men for preparing young advise all strongly Missionary work among a heathen people, to devote a year of two at least almost exclusively to such matters." Our views exactly correspond with the writer, as we endeavored to present them in the XXXVIIth Morning Star Paper, see Friend, Nov., 1861. This is a subject quite too much overlooked by young men in the Theological Seminaries of England and America, who are looking forward to a missionary life. If a missionary candidate is pressed for time, let him cut short his theological term of study, and devote one or two years at least to the study of medicine. The reasons for this course are fully apparent to all who become practically acquainted with missionary life among an ignorant and uncivilized people. directors of missionary societies, seting and sending out missionaries, should ist upon medical knowledge as an essenI qualification in a missionary candidate. * * * Pc On pages 609 and 510, we find the following reference to four Natives of the Island of Lifu, situated near New Caledonia, who were once visitors at Honolulu, (see Friend, January and October, 1869.) " The four natives of Lifu, to whom I have already referred as being on board our vessel, now rejoiced to find themselves once more on their native shore. There is a tale connected with these four young men which makes us ashamed of our country. They say they were decoyed from their island by a sandal-wooding vessel from Sydney, upwards of three years ago. They had gone on board to sell some things, were battened down in the hold, and let up on deck next day when their island was all but out of sight. They were nearly a year on Espirito Santo, cutting and cleaning sandal-wood, and were then taken to Ascension, of the Caroline Group, and sold for pigs, yams and firewood. They were rated according to size, age, etc., and fetched from two to five pigs, and a proportionable quantity of yams and firewood for each man. There were ten of them in all. After a time, six managed to run away, and escaped to Hongkong, where five of them died. The remaining four might still have been in slavery on Ascension, but for the kind help of the American missionaries there, together with Captain Thompson, of the whaling-ship " China." The captain bought off two of them, and the other two were redeemed partly by their own earnings, and partly by the missionary. They were then taken to Honolulu. The Rev. S. C. Damon and others kindly attended to them at that place, until Captain Manchester generously took them to Rarotonga, there to await the arrival of the " John Williams," One of them speaks English pretty well. Mr. Williams, the British consul at Samoa, has taken down the deposition of the young man, and reported all at the proper quarter. In the course of our voyage we trace the name of the vessel, and also that of her captain and supercargo. The Lifu people had long given up these four young men as dead, and their restoration was no small addition to the joy occasioned by the arrival of the missionaries. Two of them are of high rank in the bay where we anchored, and it was affecting to see how the people clung to them, listening to their tale, and following them wherever they went." The London press of every shade of opinion pay a very high tribute to the name and reputation of " Stonewall" Jackson. It is said that he combined in his person the intellect and religious enthusiasm—without the fanaticism—of Oliver Cromwell, the strategic ability and rapidity of the execution of Bonaparte, and the patriotic devotion of Havelock. In consequence of the death of the younger Charles Carroll of Carrollton, the Carroll Estate is now settling up. Of three hundred slaves belonging to the estate, all but one hundred and forty have run away. The appraisers valued those at $6 apiece, while a leading slave-holder of Baltimore declared that he would not give $500 for the Fate of a Godless Town.—Some German infidels founded a town in Minnesota, which was named New Ulm, stipulating that no church should ever be placed on the town plot on pain of its reversion to the original owner. The settlers spent their Sabbaths in revelry, and threatened to hang or drown any preachers who should disturb them with the gospel. On one Sabbath last summer they made an effigy of the Saviour, and burned it on the public street. Before the next Sabbath the Indian outbreak began, and the savages assaulted the impious community, and destroyed between 150 and 200 houses, completely desolating the place. The dance hall, which escaped the general wreck, was afterwards used as a place of religious worship by the volunteer troops who were stationed there, and the gospel of Jesus was thus preached in the very place where his religion had been scorned, and he so grossly insulted and reviled. The Boston Advertiser has a letter from Egypt giving further particulars of the discovery of the source of the Nile by the English travelers, Spekc and Grant. It is a lake near the equator, and the discoverers have loyally named it Lake Victoria. These bold tourists entered Africa from the East Coast, and are now coming down the Nile, so that we ought soon to have full details. The discovery of itself does not do much in the woy of practical advantage, but as according to history the question was agitated 2,300 years ago and has been in doubt ever since, it is gratifying to have it settled at last. The Anglo-African enumerates the colored troops now in service as follows:— General Thomas' recruits, 11,000; under General Banks, 3,000; in Kansas, 1,000; in South Carolina, 3,000; in North Carolina, 3,000 ; under Gen. Rosecrans, 5,000; under Gen. Schofield, 2,000; Massachusetts regi- 1,200; in the District of Columbia, 800—total 30,000. There are also 5,000 colored men in the navy. ments, Sleep.—Dr. Trall says the great secret of the superior health of the English, is the greater amount of quiet sleep. The Americans, as a nation, are wearing out for want of rest. Dr. Trail, are the Sandwich Islanders dying out for the want of sleep ? The ship Resolution, in which Capt. Cook left England on his second voyage around the world in 1772—ninety years since—is now at Demerara waiting a cargo. Rev.

From our ralued correspondent, Mr. A. Unshclm, Hamburg Consul at Apia, Samoan Islands, we have received the following particulirs relating to the wreck of the Anita, and the probable loss of several passengers and the crew. Among the passengers we notice with feelings of deep sorrow the names of our old friends and acquaintances, Captain and Mis. Gardner, of Nantucket, and also two children of Mr. Pritchard. Hereafter should additional particulars come to light, we hope our correspondent will not fail to communicate the same. The Hamburg schooner Anita, bound from Feejee to Samoa with a cargo of cocoanut oil, was lost in a tremendous hurricane on the 12th of January last. The vessel is supposed to have been Inst between Vavou and Savage Island, (Friendly Island Group.) On board of the Anita were Captain and Mrs. Gardner, of Nantucket, proceeding to Samoa, where Captain Gardner had appointed U. S. Consul. On board were also a sister and two children of Mr. W. P. Pritchard, H. B. M. Consul at Feejee, (son of the Consul formerly of Tahiti.) Mr. Pritchard was sending his family to Samoa, to proceed in one of Mr. Unshelm's vessels to England. In the meantime, in happy ignorance of the fearful blow impending over their heads, Mr. and Mrs. Pritchard subsequently took passage in the Cheetah, of Sydney, to rejoin their family, as they hoped, in Samoa, with the view of all proceeding together homewards. On the trip from I'eejee to Samoa, the Cheetah called at Haapai, Friendly Islands, and while receiving cargo, Mr. and Mrs. Pritchard were invited to remain at the mission house. On the morning after their arrival, they took a walk on the beach, along the sea-shore. They had not gone many yards when they observed something floating over the reef. They watched it as it came nearer. "It is a box," they said. A moment more and it was washed to their feet. They recognized , it. " It is our Patty's box from the Anita,' •aid the husband to his wife. This was the only tbing washed ashore on this island from the wreck.—and here Mr. and Mr*. Pritchard first heard of their fearful loss. This box seems to have been sent a silent messenger from the lost, to whisper "the mighty sea has engulphed us—the fearful hurricane has swept over us !" And this is all tbey have been able to trace of those so dear and so precious to them. Subsequently the hull of the vessel was drifted ashore, •n one of the neighboring islands, dismasted, fall of water, without a trace of the fate of the unfortunate crew, but with cargo intact Altogether it is n><*t mysteries**, ease. * The only hope that now remains—after a most thorough search on tr\\ the islands anywhere within the scope of the hurricane—is that some pushing vessel may have taken the people off the wreck, and with this "forlorn hope," Mr. Pritchard and his must amiable lady proceedfd to England in the Cesar Godeffroy. To a fond mother and nn affectionate father, how terrible has been this blow. Forty Years a Wanderer. Some months or rather years ago. we became acquainted with it person residing upon another island, who represented that he hod been many years away from home, without once communicating with hisfriends. He had repeatedly written but could get no replies. We endeavored to assist the man, and by a late mail received a long letter from one of It is brothers. Il nppears that all his friends had removed from his native town, in Massachusetts, and were living in various pans of New York and Vermont. His mother still lives, a venerable old Inciy of more than forescore. We have now letters to forward. Our friend left Boston in ISSJ3, and has during forty yenrs been residing in various parts of the '• South Seas," and upon the Sandwich Islands. We mention the facts to encourage others to write to their friends. Let not long absence from home discourage any one from writing. Your friends will gladly hear from you. Let them learn your whereabouts. A Friendly Word from an Englishman. —While English papers are burdened with editorials and letters, " long drawn out," disparaging to the cause of liberty, emancipation and the cause of the North, it is refreshing to meet with an occasional paragraph, from some English pen, indicating that the writer entertains an appreciative view of the mighty struggle now going forward in America. The following we copy from a letter of Prof. Newman, of England, to one of his American correspondents: "I am sorry to feel how low in my estima»e many of the English gentry, aristocracy and statesmen have fallen, not only as to their morality, but as to their foresight. Those who have substantially come round to your side—who can no longer help seeing that the success of the South would have been a curse to humanity—still go on moaning about the bloodshed and the ravage in a tone of equal disapproval, and cannot yet onderstand that this is a necessary result of the fansticism of the South, which alone is to blame; nay, not alone—Englishmen who have fostered the South, share the blame largely." The North and its friends have only to wait. The future historian will set these points all right. The cause of secession will not appear in a very favorable light a few years hence.

Carter, and written by Mr. Holstein, was really a most creditable performance, evincing much research and literary taste. His subject—the Past, Present and Future of Honolulu. We sincerely regret that our limited space will not allow its publication in the brxend. In an historical point of view, it richly merits publication, and the Royal Hawaiian Agricultural Society could not better appropriate some of their surplus funds than to secure its publication.

He died in Providence July 27th. This obituary originally appeared in the Providence Journal. We should be most happy to thank the person who forwarded this notice, for it has recalled a train of most interesting reminiscences of officers and seamen attached to the Navy of the United States. Captain Paine we distinctly remember ns having visited Honolulu, as first Lieutenant of the U. S. ship Constitution, in the fall of 1845. Capt. Percival introduced Lt. Paine as Chaplain of the frigate, and we remember to have heard liim referred to by others on board as a most excellent officer and Christian gentleman. The Constitution was detailed for the special service of conveying the Hon. Henry A. Wise and family to Rio Janeiro, ns American Minister to the Brazilian Court. The vessel thence sailed on an independent cruise around the world. Prayer Book.—The Church Journal says: We rejoice to sec that the translation of "our American Prayer Book into Spanish is at length complete and published. The literary work of this Spanish version has been done by the Rev. Angel dc Mora, and with highly satisfactory results, his labors being under the general supervision of the Rev. Or. Hawks." A translation has also been made into the Hawaiian language (English edition) by His Majesty Kamehameha IV. The volume contains about 400 pages. The more good books the better. The people now crave knowledge, and we hope those who are competent will vie with each other in furnishing the Hawaiian people with a pure literature. Dr. Anderson urged this point during his late visit. We have no idea that it will ever be generally adopted by the Protestant portion of the Hawaiians, yet we sinaerely rejoice that the translation has been made. 73 lottStrus, M. 20. R. C. Wyllie, Esq., &c.-We would acknowledge the receipt ola copy of the Ayr Advertiser, from this gentleman, now residing upon his plantation at Princeville, Kauai. This paper contains a long and interesting letter from the Rev. William Ellis, now residing upon Madagascar, respecting the assassination of King Radama 11. We regret our crowded and narrow columns will not allow us to publish the letter. In the note accompanying this paper, Mr. Wyllie remarks, respecting his visit to Honolulu in 1823 or "4 :—" When I called at Honolulu, in my yacht, I met the Rev. Mr. Ellis and wife, and went with them into a native school, where he made the pupils recite the Lord's Prayer in Hawaiian. Among the scholars were grown up men and women, some df them seemingly 30 or 40 years of age. Little thought 1 then that my own fate was to be cast among those neophytes of Christianity!" New Books.—We would call the attention of our readers to the large invoices of new books which arc now being opened at Book Store. There is a great variety —historical, moral and religious. He has also received a large supply of choice stationery and account books. Our sailor friends who have been so successful, could not better invest some of their money when paid off. Lay out your money for useful and entertaining books to beguile the weary hours of a long voyage, Any persons desirous of furnishing seamen with reading matter will please send their package* of papers or books to th* Chaplain's study. Files of " illustrated papers " will always prove very acceptable, including Harpers, etc., etc. Now is the time when we hope our foreign subscribers among seamen will renew their subscriptions.

IftftS. 74 A New England Ship-Master. The Rev. Or. Todd, in hi* " Hints Young Men," furnishes the following parti.'ulsrs respecting a ship-master, whoso attain mcnts in the languages und literature were exceedingly reniarkHble. He was born in New England, but sailed out of New York, i and had followed tho seafaring life from the i age of ten years. He was acquainted not only with the popular languages of modern Europe—the French, German, Spanish, Danish and Dutch—but also Latin, Greek aud Hebrew. He once held a debute on four different nvenings, in the city of Rotterdam, in the French and German languages with a learned Jew, respecting the Divinity of the New Testament, and of Jesus Christ as the promised Messiah. He read the Old Te lament in Hebrew and the New Tastes incut in Greek. The Jewish professor conleased that the American ship-master had a bctto" knowledge of the Jewish rites and the laws ol Moses than any Jew in Rotterdam. He was once asked what induced linn to take up the study of the (.reek and Hebrew. This wns his reply " When my mind was seriously impressed with the import nice and sublimity of the Christian religion, hut my knowledge and delight in tin: science of astronomy made mo a skeptic us to its reality and divinity, contrary to nil the internal evidence that forced itself upon my soul, in the conviction of sin or joy of redemption. My mind wns continually crowded with the skeptical fancy—it is impossible that God should take upon himself the likeness of human flesh to make an atonement for such a contemptible pebble as this—the most inferior of all the planets except the nvon —when He is the Adorable Creator of innumerable worlds, that excel in glory and magnitude our sun. 1 doubted all Interpretations ami external evidences of every kind. I was resolved to attempt the study of the Greek language. I surmounted it* difficulties', to my peace and satisfaction. Then I grappled with the Hebrew, ns for life and death, until I understood it sufficiently to remove all my doubts and establish my mind in the fullest confidence in the Divine mission of Him. who emphatically claims the appellation of Christ—the Son of God and Savior of the world." As our readers on ship-board peruse the foregoing sketch of on' who once followed iho sea, we hope they may lie encouraged to follow his example, and improve nil their sparo moments in study and reading. Some years ago a highly respected ship-master, visiting the port of Honolulu, informed us that in early lift his education had been much neglected, but he was resolved to make amends and improve his mind. As he whs about starting upon his voyages to the Pacific, he purchased the entire scries of Harper's Family Library, numbering over one hundred volumes, and read them all through during the voyage. '1 bus he became a man of extensive general information, and a most agreaebU companion in conversation. Few thing* afford or mow delight in visiting a to : 1 ship's cabin, ami taking a peep into the captain's stateroom, than to 6nd it will supplied with books, or on looking into a sailor's cheat, to *N a goodly supply ol nailing matter.

Proposal to Dig Up Shakespeare's Honks.—There is a hot and violent contro- versy going on just now in literary and dramatic circles about the propriety ot moving Sbakcs|>enre'B bones. Next year, in April, it is proposed to celebrate the bicentenary of the poet's birth, and it is urged ihnt this would be a fitting ocension to make a solemn ceremony of digging up his mortal remains, in order that his posterity might satisfy themselves about his stature, the shape of his bead, and so forth. The objectors, on the other hand, profess to be shocked at the bare idea, and declare that they will have no hand in the proceeding, which might bring down upon their heads the curse which Shakespoire himself pronounced upon any one who should venture to disturb his hones. It is argued again that Shakespeare never ordered that inscription to be put upon his tomb, but that ii was merely a hack inscription of the sextons aud stone-cutter* of the period.

It is God's day of settlement with a wofld that has had n long credit. It is the winding up of this earth's bankrupt estate and ench man's individual interest. It is the closing of an open account that has been running on ever since the fall.

The most common action of life ; its every day, every hour, is invested with a solemn grandeur, when we think how they extend their issues into eternity.

Would to God we heard it —everywhere, and always heard it! What a check ! what a stimulus! Are we about to sin, how strong a curb ; if slow to duty, how sharp a spur.

From a letter of our fellow-townsman, Dr. Wood, dated San Francisco Sept. 20, we copy as follows: •' I was absent, soon after my arrival, two weeks on a trip to Washoe—and churches and clergymen are amongst the last things you will sec or hear »l in making such a journey. I was gratified to find, however, four churches in Virginia City, or Washoe —three Protestant and one Catholic—situated fifty or sixty miles east of the Sierra Nev>da, about 12000 feel below the summit, on the slope of a mountain ridge, about six thousand feet in height in a desert country, with not a sign of vegetation, except wild sage,—an unsightly dwarf shrub, —within a compass of fifty miles, which is as far as the eye can reach. The city which had not the apology for a house four years ago. now contains a population of fifteen thousand, (some say SfJ.OnQ, others 2. >,000.) inhabitants, mostly mule adults, with streets lined with the iron fronts of brick blocks, and thronged with team*, omnibusses and car- r riages, which, if the streets were wider, would remind one of Broadway, New York. The appraised value of the paying mines, I was told, is 875,000 000, which exceeds by twenty millions the assessment of the city of San Francisco.

By the a-rivnl of this vessel we have rereived information from nil the mission stations in Micronesia. We are glitd to learn that among the people of the Gilbert or Kingsmill islands there are indications of an upward tendency. A few years ago tobacco was the only article of trade, in exchange for coconnut oil. Now they inquire for cloth, hatchets, saws, boards, and other articles. This may seem a small matter in the estimation of some of our readers, but we can assure them it marks an important crisis in the history of those islanders. The ivi■ Mr. Bingham and his Hawaiian associates are the only missionaries among the thirty or forty thousand inhabitants. v. AI'AIANC AM) TAItAWA. Under date of May 9th, Mr. Bingham writes as follows " We are enjoying our usual health, having returned only two days before the arrival of the Morning Star from a \isii of nearly twenty dnys on Tarawa. Mahoc and family we brought with us on nur return to spend a few days on our island. Apaiang. 1 spent some days with him in makings preaching tour through Tarawa.

"The tmnslation of the New Testament has reached Ist of Corinthians. We hope to resume the won; soon. If favored, shall hope to complete the work in three or four years." : EBON, MARSHALL ISLANDS. From this island, the Rev. G. B. Snow thus writes under date of July 24th. He had just returned from a visit to Strong's Island on board the Morning Star. "Our visit to them will ever be a very green spot in the past. Truly God is blessing that poor people. The second-hand garments that our Honolulu friends sent them proved very timely, and very acceptable. They passed u very unanimous vote of thanks to those friends who so kindly thought of their poverty.

They do not soon forgot those who are kind to them." In referring lo tho mission to Ebon, we would stale that tic Rev. E. T. Doane. who has labored so efficiently ot that island, left Honolulu for the Atlantic Stntes by the last trip of the Yankee. We hnve received a letter from him dated Brooklyn. California, under datt: of August 31st. He thus writes " On ■arriving I found my old associate, Dr. Pierson, nnd I am now with him, and shall hope to spend a week or so here. At his request, I hold over one steamer. As you may surmise, this being again on the soil of our I'atherland is a pleasant thing. * * * * Are you yet in possession of anything from Micronesia?

Thus the missionary's henrt yearns towards the poor people among whom he has labored, whose language he has reduced to a written form, and whose children he has taught to rend, and some ol whom he has welcomed to the privileges of Christ's Church. : I'ONAI'K, OR, ASCENSION. We have also received a letter from the Rev. Mr. Sturges, who is still usefully employed among the people at the Ronokiki station. His people had taken steps to send a missionary from among their own number to McAsgill's Island, but we are sorry to learn that the people of that island are so sivage and opposed, that Captain Geiett did not think it prudent to leave him. It was on this island that an American by the name of Higgins, belonging; to Brewster, Mass., was killed in tbe autumn of 1861, and now no foreigners are living there. The death of this man is supposed to have been plotted by the chief, in order to obtain said Higgins' money, amounting to over 81.000. Two whale ships have since touched there an I sold goods, and obtained the money in exchange. Visit to Vicksburg. We have been permitted the privilege of reading a long journal of a cruise up and down the Mississippi by our old fellow townsman, J. E. Chamberlain, Esq. During the month of July, and since the surrender, he visited tbe city of Vicksburg. We think our readers will be interested in the perusal of so much of this journal as relates to that noted stronghold of rebeldom. At four o'clock, July 18th, we were rounding to under the stern of tho �hip. The last hours were full of excitement —going below the smoke stacks of the Cincinnati—then discovering battery after battery—our boys covering every hill, occupying every position with tents, and bayonets Then came tbe city, not so badly used up as I expected. From a distance, such was my impression. Sixty steamers were on the Vicksburg side, and nearly ns many on the other. A glorious sight, in which one particular steamer sent more glad thrills, for under the stars and stripes hung the rebel rag. The Louisville, worth $80,000, had just been taken up Red River,also the small stern-wheel boot Elmira, which had forty hogsheads of sugar, valued at $5,000, on board.

TT\ KHFRIETND,IOCBKH The Sunday in France. Abbe Mullois, chaplain to the Empress of France, in a recent discourse on the Sunday observed that the neglect of rest on auestion, ie Sabbath day, according to the commandment, brought on premature old age ; .and added these suggestive thoughts: "Who, in these days of money-seeking, cares for the old ? Who would employ wenk arms, when young and strong ones are demanding their turn ? Old age at fifty was one of the features of the day, one ever recurring to his notice in his intercourse with the poor. Public and private charities were insufficient to keep from want the thousands who on the ground could no longer find employment." Thus, the experiment of a godless holiday Sunday, instead of a restful, refreshing holy Sabbath day. proves a confessed failure. The human constitution was not framed for perpetual exertion or dissipation. If not wound up weekly, it runs down and wears out. " Old age at fifty is one of the features of the day," says Eugenie's chaplain. What a feature! What a commentary on the homeless, Sabbathless, godless lite of Paris and France ! What a warning for Sabbath keeping nations! We have known that the Catholic dignitaries of France were alarmed at the tendencies of the prevailing anti-Sunday regime, and trust it may not be too late to stay its fearful power. All the Bishops have sent out pastorals on the subject, nnd societies for the better observance of Sunday have been framed in most of the towns. The only paper in the world specially devoted to the l'Observateur dv DiSunday question, manche," is published in Paris. But whether the Sabbath can ever be restored to its just position, so long as equal or superior authority is given to festivals of mere human appointment, may well be doubted. One thing is certain, the temporal and eternal interests of men and nations are identified with the Christian Sabbath. It was "made for man"; the mnn who neglects or despises it unmakes himself.—N. Y. journal of Com. •' appeared, descending this dangerous headland, and, reaching the water, dashed precipitately in the sea. howling dreadfully, having swam out close to our boat, thpy then turned towards the shore, keeping a little distance ahead of us, indicating that we were to follow them. 'Our singular pilots seemed to understand the danger of our position, and we did not dare to deviate from the course they were leading us. without a loud howl being uttered by them. At last we arrived in a large natural creek. where a safe landing was effected. No other similar creek was to be seen, which caused us all to wonder at the sagacity displayed by however, soon these dumb animals. No doubt our preservation wns, in a great measure, attributable to these noble dogs. An alarm having been raised, a rope was let down by a pulley, and we were all taken up the cliff, which is one hundred and fifty feet in height. We were shortly after enabled to reach the lighthouse, where every attention was paid to us. The Mother Molds the Man.—When I lived among the Choctaw Indians, says one, I held a consultation with one of their chiefs, respecting the successive stages of their progress in the arts of civilized life ; and, among other things he informed me that at their start they made a great mistake —they only sent boys to school. These boys came home intelligent men, but they married uneducated and uncivilized wives; and the uniform result was, the children were all like their mothers. The father soon lost all interest both in wife and children. " And now," said he, '• if we would educate but one class of our children, we should choose the girls; for when they become mothers they educate their sons." This is the point, and it is true. No nation can become fully enlightened when mofhprs are not in a good degree qualified to discharge the duties of the home-work of education. — Church or England and Methodists. In a late discussion in the House of Lords, the Bishop of London said that he " tin; ted Singular Incident. the great mistake (of the lnstcenturv) which A gentleman belonging to Greenock, who sent the whole Wesleyan body drift from was among the saved from the wreck of the the Church of England might one day be ill-fated screw-steamer Anglo-Saxon, de- remedied and that this body would one day scribes, in a letter to a relative residing in j be restored, and that this body would be that town, a remarkable circumstance con-1 glad to strengthen the hands of the clergy." nected with the landing of one of the boats The Earl of Shaftesbury said that he » wns belonging to the ship.

Strange Dissolution of the Hudson's Bay Company.—The North Pole has been private transfer. Tbe " International Financial Society" purchased all the rights and territories of the Hudson's Bay Company for £1.500.000. being at the rate of £300 for every share worth £200, the price to be paid on the Ist of July. The bargain is creditable to the well-known astuteness of Mr. Edward Ellice, so long the dictator of the selling associntion, but if its legality is not questionable it ought to be. Who ever heard of a kingdom sold by private arrangement? The Hudson's Bay Company hold sold by sovereign rights over vast territories, and one would imagine, could no more sell than the Queen could sell her prerogative. Imagine the East India Company selling India, or, to come nearer home, tie Hudson's Bay Company selling their rights" to the French Credit Mobil er! The transfer ought, at least, to be discussed in Parliament.—Spectator, June 20. " Queer.—The chief item of evidence relied upon to disprove the Mosaic date of the origin of the race, has been the flint arrowheads found in the drift of certain geological formations. We are not aware that Christian scholars have been much troubled by these claims ; but a curious statement is now made by the London Athenaeum, going to show that the whole matter was a discreditable trick. Heretofore it has been assumed that the remains of human origin were really what they purported to be. But now, according to the Athenaeum, one of the British inquirers into the matter " u said to have been struck with the suspicious appearance of one of the flint heaps. The axes appeared to have been artificially ttained ; nnd on being placed in water they looked as if all the the color would brush away. The general circumstances are said to have impressed the English geologists with a strong feeling of uncertainty."—Christian Intelligencer. A Recompense.—A New Orleans correspondent of the Boston Recorder attended a flag presentation at the High School in the former city, (New Orleans,) not long since. One part, he says, was quite interesting and significant. Miss Sarah Miller, a young lady of the school, at the opening of the rebellion, was set the following copy in her writing book: '• Confederate States of Amer- ica—Beauregard." She would not write it, but instead wrote underneath, " United States of America—Washington." For this she was made the scorn and ridicule of the whole school, and put on the stage witS a badge of degradation on her. Yesterday, the writer adds, she was selected to present our noble flag to the school, which sh* did in a beautiful speech, overflowing with pat- riotism. . �THE I■k I h | ti. C. J. 11.

A few months since thfrstartling announcemade, that an extensive importa- ment was tion into Peru of Polynesians as laborers, was in active operation. Some reported that those engaged in the business were conducting it in a favorable manner, and took none but with the consent of the laborers, but other reports made known a different state of affairs. It was exceedingly difficult to obtain correct information upon the subject. By a late vessel from California, there came to Honolulu a Peruvian Consul-General for Polynesia, His Ex. Manuel Jose Palacios, accompanied by his Secretary, Mr. Miller, (a nephew of General Milter, late British Consul at Honolulu.) These gentlemen are commissioned by the Government of Peru, to collect information respecting Polynesia in general, but particularly relating to the transportation of the natives of Polynesia to Peru. From Mr. Miller, we have learned some facts relating to this important subject, which we are confident will be interesting to our readers. The following is a list of vessels which have been engaged in the trade : Basis—Adelanle, Jeiieral Prim, Carolina. Jose Castro, Rosa j Carmen, Boss Patricia, Serpiente Marina, Teresa, Kmpreta, Hoooria, Carolina Paut.

It is estimated than more than 2,000 kanakas, or Polynesians, have been transported. Some estimate as high as 4,000. The first vessel engaged in the business was the Adelante, which took away 200. She was followed by the Jeneral Prim and Jorje Zahra, which took away about 280. These three vessels belonged to the firm of Ugarte & Santiago. It is said that no violence was used in obtaining these cargoes. They were obtained at Penrhyn, Rieson, and Raster Islands. The Rose y Carmen, Carolina, Jose Castro, Cora, Dolores, Guillermo, and Rosa Patricia visited the Easter Islands. According to the statements of the seamen of the Cora, the Captains not being able to obtain natives by fair means, landed 80 armed men under command of the Captain of the. Spanish bark Rosa y Carmen. They attacked the natives, and killed, at the first volley, seven of the islanders, when they seized and took to Callao two hundred. The bark Empresa visited the Marquesas Islands. The Captain and supercargo invited a chief and his family on board to dinner, when the surgeon of the vessel drugged some wine with opium. This having been drank by the natives put them to sleep, when they were secured and taken to Huacho, where they were sold. The Sandwich Island missionaries on the Marquesas Islands have written to Honolulu upon this subject, and their testimony has been procured by the Peruvian Commissioner. Our missionaries state that a vessel came to the island of Fatuhiva, but they could not obtain the name. It was the Empresa. We would add that the Peruvian Government has issued an order to arrest the master, supercargo and surgeon of the Empresa, and the natives of Marquesas have been returned. The schooners Apurimac and Mattuelita Cartas were wrecked at Humphrey's Island, but their crews were saved.

The French Protectorate Government of Tahiti, tins seized the Serpiente Marina, Mercedes A dc Wholey, Misti, Cora, Guayas, and Barbara Gomez, but the two latter were permitted to continue their voyage, but the others were condemned. Captain Umba« and Mr. Biron Lee Knapp, of the Mercedes, have been condemned to 10 years imprisonment. The Cora, Misti and Mercedes have been sold by the French authorities. So far as answering the object of furnishing laborers for Peru, the whole enterprise is a perfect failure. Many have died, and those who survive are useless. The Peruvian Government has prohibited the further importation of kanakas. The Government has already sent back some of the poor people to their homes, and it is reported that others arc also to be sent. Respecting the manner this scandalous business has been carried on.the following statement of A. Unshelm, Esq., Hamburg Consul at Apia, Samoan Islands, will throw some light. It is copied from a communication addressed to the Editor, and published in the September issue of the Friend: regret to learn that several vessels " We the Peruvian flag, had been for some bearing weeks cruising amongst the Samoa and neighboring islands, kidnapping natives. In some instances force had been employed to capture the unsuspecting islanders. On some of the smaller islands, out of populations numbering several hundreds, not more than 15 or 20 people have been left, including the native missionary teachers. One vessel on board of which dysentery had appeared amongst the unfortunate natives, had run down to Sunday Island, in the neighborhood of New Zealand, where having landed the sick, the disease spread so virulently that the white settlers were nearly all carried off. The few who survived have since removed to this port. The dead and dying natives were left abandoned on the sands of the beach, and the vessel started to kidnap another cargo. �I H X 82 Revolution in ASSASSINATION Madagascar.* OF KINO RADAMA 11. We give place to the following important letter from Rev. William Ellis, long a devoted and able missionary of the London Missionary Society to Madagascar, addressed to the Rev. Dr. Tidman, secretary of that society. It can hardly fail to be read with interest as a remarkable chapter in the history of that country: Madagascar, i " Atananamvo, May 16th, 1863. "My Dear Friend:—Seldom has the instability of human affairs been more strikingly, and in some respects, tragically manifested, than in the events of the last few days in this city. Within that period the reign of Radama 11. has closed with his life ; a successor has been chosen by the nobles and accepted by the people; a new form of government has been inaugurated, and it is arranged that the legislative and , . administrative functions of the sovereignty shall hereafter be discharged by the sovereign, the nobles, and the heads of the people jointly. A series of resolutions embodying what may be regarded as the germs of constitutional government has been prepared and presented by the nobles and heads of the people to the Queen, containing the conditions on which they offered her the crown. The acceptance of these conditions by Rabodo, and their due observance by the nobles and heads of the people, were attested by the signatures of tbe Queen and the chief of the nobles, before the former was announced to the people as their future sovereign, and proclaimed under tde title of Rasoaherena, Queen of Madagascar. The death of Radama, the offer and acceptance of the crown, aud the proclamation of the present ruler as Queen, all occurred on Tuesday, the 12th instant. " Amiable and enlightened as in several respects Radama certainly was, his views of the duties of the ruler were exceedingly defective, and almost all government for the good of the country may be said to have been in abeyance ever since his accession. The destruction of a large part of the revenue of government by the abolition of all duties—the exclusion from his councils of many of the nobles and most experienced men in the nation, while he surrounded himself with a number of young, inexperienced, and many of them most objectionable men as his confidential advisers—the relaxation or discontinuance ofall efforts to repress crime, or punish it when committed—and the neglect of all measures for placing the prosperity of the country on any solid basis—have, notwithstanding the affection many of the people bore him, produced growing dissatisfaction. Still, confiding in his good nature, all were willing to wait in hope of a change for the better; while the Christians, grateful for the liberty they enjoyed to worship, teach and extend their knowledge of Christianity, directed their chief attention to the enlightenment of the masses of their heathen countrymen. sal £.?*" that the Island of Madagascar.

NOHIBKK, I S " Within the last two or three months extraordinary efforts have been made to bring the King's mind under the influence of the old superstitions of the country, and these succeeded to an extent which has resulted in his ruin. Within this period a sort of mental epidemic has appeared in the adjacent provinces and in the capital. The subjects of this disease pretended to be unconscious of their actions, and to be unable to refrain from leaping, running, dancing, tec. These persons also saw visions, and heard voices from the invisible world. One of these visions, seen by many, was the ancestors of the King, and the voices they heard announced the coming of these ancestors to tell the King what he was to do for the good of the country. Subsequently a message was brought to him as from his ancestors to the effect that, if he did not stop 'the praying,' some great calamity woold soon befall him. To the surprise of his best friends, the King was exceedingly interested in this strange movement, seemed to believe the pretended message from the world of spiriis, and encouraged the frantic dancers, who daily thronged his house and declared that the disease would continue to increase till 'the praying' was stopped. It is generally reported that these movements were prompted by the guardians of the idols, and promoted by his own Mena maso,* who bribed parties to come as sick persons in large numbers from the country, in order to continue the delusion. "It was then proposed to assassinate a numberof Christians, as a means ol stopping the progress of Christianity, and also to kill the chief nobles who opposed the King's proceedings. With a view of increasing the influence of this fanatical party, the King issued an order that all persons meeting any of the so-called sick should take off their hats, and* thus show them the same mark of respect as was formerly given to the national idols when they were carried through the city. With the view also of shielding the perpetrators of the intended raurdeis, the King announced his intention to issue an order or law, that any person or persons wishing to fight with firearms, swords, or spears, should not be prevented, and that if any one was killed the murderer should not be punished. This alarmed the whole community. On the 7th instant Radama repeated before his ministers and others in the palace, his determination to issue that order, and among all the Mena maso present only three opposed the issuing of the order; many were silent, the rest expressed their approval. The nobles and heads of the people spent the day in deliberating on the course they should pursue, and the next morning the prime minister, with about one hundred of the nobles and heads of the people, including the commander-in-chief, the king's treasurer, and the first officer of the palace, went to the King, and remonstrated against his legalizing murder, and besought him most earnestly not to issue such order. It is said that the prime minister went on his knees before him, and begged him not to Mena maso. literally,red eye*. These are not the a*, knowledged ministers of the King, but a sort of Inquisitors, supposed to investigateand search out everything tending to the injury of thegovernment, and to give private and confidential Intimation to the King of all occurrences, as well as advice on all affairs aad tbalr ma ar* supposed to be red arltb the strain or cnatinuaace *f dlatcult invaatlgatl*** * i « 3 . issue this obnoxious law ; but he remained unmoved. The minister then rose and said to the King: 'Do you say before all these witnesses that if any man is going to fight another with firearms, swords or spears, that you will not prevent him, and that if he kills any one he shall not be punished ?" The King replied : ' I agree to that.' Then said the minister It is enough ; we must arm;' and turning to his followers said : ' Let us return.' I saw the long procession as they passed my house, grave and silent, on their way to the minister's dwelling. The day was spent in deliberation, and they determined to oppose the King. " Toward the evening I was most providentially preserved from assassination at the King's house, five of his confidential advisors —that is, the Mena maso—having, as I have since been well informed, combined to take my life, as one of the means of arresting the progress of Christianity. Under God, I owe my preservation to the warning of my friends and the provision made by the prime minister for my safety. I went to the King an hour earlier than usual, and returned immediately, to prepare for removal to a place of greater safety near my own house. Messengers from the minister were waiting my return, and before dusk I removed to the house of Dr. Davidson, which stands on the edge of Andohalo, the large space where public assemblies are often held. The city was in great commotion ; all night women and chil- : ' dren and slaves, with portable valuables, were hurrying from the city, while crowds of armed men from the suburbs were crowding into it. At daybreak on the ninth some two thousand or more troops occupied Andohalo. The ground arouss. the prime minister's house, on the summit of the Northern crest of the mountain close by, was filled with soldiers, while every avenue to the city was securely kept by the minister's troops. The first object of the nobles was to secure upward of thirty of the more obnoxious of the Mena maso, whom they accused of being the advisors and abettors of the King in his unjust and injurious measures. A number of these were taken and killed, a number fled, but twelve or thirteen remained with the King These the nobles required should be surrendered to them. The King refused, but they threatened to take them by force from the palace, to which he had removed. Troops continued to pour in from adjacent and distant posts, and, as the few soldiers of the King refused to fire on those surrounding the palace, the people, though pitying the King, did not take up arms in his defense. He consented at length to surrender the Mena maso, on condition that their lives should be spared, and that they should be confined for life in fetters. On Monday, the 11th, they were marched by Andohalo, on their way to the spot where the irons were to be fixed upon their limbs. In the course of the discussion with the nobles, the King had said that he alone was sovereign, his word alone was law, bis person was sacred, he was supernaturally protected, and would punish severely the opposere of his wilL This led the nobles to determine that it was not safe for him to live, " and he died by their hands the next morning, within the palace. The Queen, who alone was with him, used every effort, to the last �83 THE FRIEND, NOVEMBER, 1563. moment of his life, to save him, but in vain. His advisors, the Mena maso, were afterwards put to death. "In the course of the forenoon four of the chief nobles went to the Queen, with a written paper, which they handed to her as expressing the terms or conditions on which, for the future, the country should be governed. They requested her to read it, stating that if she consented to govern according to these conditions, they were willing that she should be the sovereign of the country, but thßt if she objected or declined, they must seek another ruler. The Queen, after reading the document, and listening to it, and receiving explanations on one or two points, expressed her full and entire consent to govern according to the plan therein set forth. The nobles then said: 'We also bind ourselves by this agreement. If we break it, we shall be guilty of treason, and if you break it, we shall do as -we have now done.' The prime minister then signed the document on behalf of the nobles and heads of the people, and the-Queen signed it also. three and four o'clock a party " Between came with a copy of this docuof officers ment, which they read to us. I can only state two or three of its chief items " The word of the sovereign alone is not to be law, but the nobles and heads of the people, with the sovereign, are to make the : laws. liberty and protection are guar" Perfect to all foreigners who are obedient to anteed the laws of the country. relations are to be maintained " Friendly with all other nations.

" Domestic slavery is not abolished ; but masters are at liberty to give freedom to their slaves, or to self them to others. "No person is to be put to death for any offense by the word of the sovereign alone ; and no one is to be sentenced to death till twelve men have declared such person to be guilty of the crime to which the law awards the punishment of death. " An hour afterwards we were sent for to the palace that we might tender our salutations to the new sovereign, who assured us of her friendship for the English, her goodwill to ourselves, and her desire to encourage our work. I can not add more now. We Yours truly, are all well. W. Ellis. P. S. June 17.—Everything is going on well. The new Queen has written to Queen Victoria and to the Emperor of the French announcing her accession to the throne, her wish to maintain unimpaired the relations of amity and friendship established between the two nations and Madagascar, and assuring both sovereigns that she will protect the persons and property of their subjects who may come to this country.

American National Thanks giving. We are glad to give the following telrgraphio announcement from Washington: WasmsCTos, Oct. 3 —The President has issued a proclama- tion, Inviting his fellowcltliens In every part of the United States, and also thosewho are at sea. and those sojourning la foreign lands, to ac: apart and observe the last Thursdsj of November as aday of thanksgiving and prayer. We doubt i.ot all Americans residing upon the Sandwich Islands, will most cordially respond in this invitation of President Lincoln. The day will correspond with that when the Governors of the separate States have in former jears invited their fellow citizens to observe a day of Thanksgiving. The appoiutmrnta of the separate States will undoubtedly make their appointments to correspond with this of our respected aud beloved President. Never bad the loyal cititeus of that great Republic more occasion for thanksgiving than upon the present occasion. The "Sacramento Union."—This is decidedly a good paper. There is none published this side of the Rocky mountains, conducted with more ability. If any of our island readers desire to subscribe for a good news paper, we can most confidently recommend the Sacramento Weekly Union. We would gratefully acknowledge books and papers, for gratuitous distribution among seamen, from Mrs. Dr. J. M. Smith, Mrs. Martin, Mrs. Thrum, Mrs. Henry A. P. Carter, and Mr. W. N. Ladd. These favors were very acceptable and similar will still be appreciated. Illustrated papers are particularly prized by seamen about to leave port for their long cruises. We hope many of our sea-faring readers will improve the opportunity to subscribe for the Friend, and send it to their friends. $2 50 per annum, including postage, 48 cents, which must be prepaid. Subscribers in the United States can make remittances for the amount of their subscriptions in postage stamps. Slave Prospects.—The value of human chattels, in the money market of the South, is getting very low. Some slave owners in Virginia have actually dismissed their slaves, and sent them off to the District of Columbia, to get rid of their support. They are now rapidly enlisting to recruit the Federal Army. The "Pacific."—This is an excellent weekly religious paper, published in San Francisco. This paper and the Sacramento Union contain pretty much all the secular and religious intelligence worthy of publication in this part of the world. New Books.—Those fond of reading will find a rare and excellent supply of books at Whitney's bookstore. See advertisement.

When we had looked at the chart I remarked that I had met with an old friend whom 1 did not expect to find on board the England, and held up ' The Loss of the Winterton, East Indiaman,' by the late Mr. Buchan, of Kelloe, observing that I knew the author, from whom I had many years ago received a copy ofhis book. Dundas replied that Mr. Buchan " Captain was related to his mother, and that the Captain of tbe Winterton was his grandfather. I then recollected that Dundas was the name of tbe captain who had perished in the wreck. After remarking that we were not far from the place where the wreck occurred, Captain Dundas went on deck. In a few moments I heard the cry' A wreck ! a wreck!' and, hastening to the poop, saw on the larboard bow a small flag or signal of blue cloth, distinct among the tops of the waves, and and about two miles off. In a few minutes more I discerned a sort of raft, with two figures, a white man and a man of color, sitting upon it, up to the waist in the sea. " The flag of England had been hoisted-i--symbol ofhelp and deliverance—to signal to the castaways that they were seen, and the ship's course was altered. Meanwhile, one of the boats was lowered, and, manned by five stout, willing hands, was pushed off toward the raft. While the oars rattled with each stroke, and the light boat seemed to spring over the waves, with our tall, stout second officer, Mr. Peters, standing with the steer-oar in the stem, every eye on board was stretched toward the same point; the sailors leaning over from the forecastle and forerigging; the officers and passengers straining over the bulwarks of the poop; ladies with their children, al! gazing with the most intense interest as our boat approached the raft. No one moved; not a word was uttered; even breathing seemed difficult; but when the first man, and then the second—stiff, benumbed and swollen with the water—had been safely lifted into the boat, the pent up feeling found utterance in the almost simultaneous exclamation, ' They are saved!' which was heard from item to stern along the side of our ship. Some persons near me wept, others seemed reads/ to faint under emotions of sympathy and .joy. " Our boat was soon alongside, and, swollen, bruised and bleeding, the men were helped over the ship's side into the cabin. Not wishing to add to the pressing crowd, I remained on deck. A few moments afterward I heard the captain call, Mr. Ellis ! here js a Sandwich Islander. ' Come and speak to him." I went into the cabin, where the two men were sitting on the deck. The white man was the captain of a ship which had been upset in the violent gale two days before, when every one on board, twenty-two in number, except the two just rescued, had perished. The islander, a young rastn, was one of the crew; and, having made no answer to the questions addressed to him by our humane captain, I had been called down. "The man was sitting on the deck, his head bent down, and his long, black, and dripping hair hanging over his eves and down hi* fact. Looking at him," I said, ' Aroha, ehoaino, aroha :' Salutation, dear friend—affection. The man lifted up his head, swept with bis hand his long, black hair to one side of his forehead, and, looking earnestly at me like one to whom conciousness was but just returning, and startled by the sound of his native language, returned my salutation. In answer to a few inquiries he told me he was a native of Oahu, the Island on which I had at one timeresided. He said he was up aloft furling sail, when the ship suddenly went over, and all, in an instant, were plunged into the deep; that there were other islanders on board, but they soon sunk. The doctor of our ship then gave the men a little suitable refreshment, and they were wrapped in flannels and put to bed. Captain Dundas took the raft, a very fragile affair, and brought it to England, intending to deposit it in the Crystal Palace. day I went down to the berth " Thethenext where Sandwich Islander was lying, and found him very much revived. After conversing with him about the wreck and the loss of all his shipmates, 1 said, ' God has very mercifully preserved you. You must remember his goodness, and pray to him.' He said, ' I did pray to him in the night, when I was in the sea. I did pray to God in the morning, when I saw the captain ; 1 prayed that we might be saved. And God sent away death, and sent your ship, and we are here.' I said, 'I am glad you prayed to God. You must be thankful to God, and serve him, and love him. You must try to praise God in your future life.' repeated the first two lines of a " I then which I had written, among the first hymn ever composed in the language of the Sandwich Islands, when I was a missionary in that country. The lines are these :—[We publish the hymn in full.] Ke Akua maikai. 1 HE Akua bemolele, Ke Akua no kakou , Maikai wale, hewa ole, Pono loa, ola mau. 2 Nani wale ko lehova, Luli ole ka maikai, Ahonui wale kela, I ka hana pono mai. • 3 Oia no ka Haku mana, 0 na mea ilalo nei; Nana kakou nei i hana, 9 Aole na ka lima c. 4 Pono hoi c pule aku, 1 ke ola no ke ao; /ola kanaka ia iala, I ola nui no kakou. A God of perfection or goodness is our God.' The man's countenance brightened as I repeated these lines, and as soon as I had ceased he took up the strain where I had left off, repeating the two concluding lines antjf the remaining verses with evident satis1 ham, Mr. Thurston and others.' He seemed surprised and pleased; said he knew the missionaries who were now at the Islands ; that his brother was a native teacher in the Sandwich Islands, and his sister a Christian. been my privilege to labor in har" It hadco-operation with the able and demonious voted American missionaries first sent to the Sandwich Islands. Having a knowledge of the language at Tahiti, which varies but slightly from that of Hawaii, I had assisted in forming the Hawaiian alphabet, and fixing the orthography of the native language, as well as in other departments of missionary labor. More than thirty years had passed away since I had left those islands, and it was an unexpected satisfaction to my own mind to find that the Christian sentiments embodied in a simple hymn, which had been prepared chiefly with a view to implanting seeds of truth in the minds of the young, had afforded consolation and support to the mind of a native of those islands in the lonely solitude of a distant ocean, amid the perils of shipwreck, and the prospect of death ; and I mention this circumstance for the encouragement of other laborers in the cause of humanity and religion, that they may cast their bread upon the waters and labor on, in the assurance that no sincere effort will be altogether in vain, though its results should never be known. " The ship from which these two men were saved was the Henry Crappo, from Dartmouth, Mass., a whaler, full, and homeward bound. Many particulars of their peril were afterward related to us by the captain. While drifting on their raft they had been pursued by two sharks. One attempted to seize them; but by drawing up their legs from the water as well as they were able, and chopping at their assailant with a small hatchet found in the fragment of the boat of which their raft was constructed, they succeeded in driving him away. They had been two days and two nights in the sea, and the onlyrefreshment they had had was a small lime or lemon which the captain found in his pocket, and, cutting it in half, divided with his companion, and a piece of pumpkin from their own ship, which floated past on the following day. " Soon after this incident we reached the Cape of Good Hope, where our rescued mariners left us to proceed to America. Sailing from this port we touched at St. Helena and the Island of Ascension, and by the care of a watchful and gracious Providence reached England in safety on the 20th of March, " 1857."

Captain lirumnaerlKMp was killed by natives March 30 During the winterlost five seamen Willi scurvy, and three with disease of tnc breast—all natives of the Hawaiian Islands. The brig lea Honolulu on the 2d June, 1882. under command of Capt. L. Brutnmerhoop, bound on a whaling and trailing expedition, and well provided with every necessity for wintering North. On the 23d ot September shipped our catch, consisting of about 100 brls and some trade, by brig Victoria, to Honolulu fr mi St. Lawrence Bay, which place we had selected for our wintering station; we also sent down by the Victoria 9 Hawaiian seamen and one boat-steerer, who had only shipped lor the summer season, leaving our crew to the number of 20 in all, officers and men. From the Ist to the 16thNovember, 1882, saw plenty of whales but could not get near them, on account of heavy gales and purrsge ice, and on the '24thNovemlier, with a strong N.W. gale, the vessel froae in solid. On November 1,1862, an Ksquiraoux. named Capatclnai, who had stayed already three days o board with us, during a secre gale, became alarmed about bis bouse and family, and ■IsaavJ, to be put on shore, wluch at that time it was iniiMissible for us to comply with without endangering the lives of a whole boat'screw; we told him to wait another day, to which he seemed to resign himself, but while we were at sapper, be juiniwd overboard and tried to gain the shore by swimming, but was carried down by tlie purrage ice. On the6th November, when the gnle was over, the Esquimaux came on bourd, andlaid the blame of the man's drowning to the captain; and not sufficiently speaking their language, we could only with difficulty explain to them how it occurred. We were after wards often warned by some of the Esquimaux that the friends of thedrowned man intended to take the Captain's lile, or even the vesaei,and we were much on our guard in the beginning| after some time all seemed, however, to be forgotten, and we traded with them on the most friendly terms. On the 30th of March, 1883, the Captain was invited by the chief, who furnished the vessel with doer, to come to his place and select what he wanted, as he hail often done. The captain, unsuspecting of treachery,went, coming near the chief's house, he was shot by an arrow, and afterwardskilled by spears; the captain bred his revolver twice, but it seems ineffectually. The report drew our attention to that side, and though this occurred at adistance of five miles from the vessel, we could see by our glaas, the whole country being covered with snow, that an affray was going on; the vessel at that time, however, being crowded with Esquimaux, we could not send any help to the captain, as we did not know whether an attack on the vessel was contemplate! by them. We dispatched some friendly Esquimaux to the place, who reported that they could not find the captain, but Moved that h; had been killed; two days afterwards we recovered his clothes, but could not learn what had become of his body, notwithstanding that we offered every reward to the Esquimaux to recover the same. The three men, llatiau, Kakou and Wapus, blood relations of the drowned man, who, as we learned.had committed tbe murder, had struck down their huts immediately, and wandered off, and we could not lay hold of them. The Esquimaux then assured us that now all was settled according to their custom of man for man, and that they would not molest any one of us, which promise they faithfully kept. The chief sent us also the deer tbe captain had bought, and we received considerable trade from them afterwards. Though well provided with every necessity against scurvy, diwe lost five Hawaiians by this scourge, and three by otherhail seases; thewhole crow, Hawaiian as well aa foreigners, winter, the vegetables preserved and all potatoes fresh meats, and none of the whit* crew died: the trouble with the Hawaiians, however, was that they would not take any exercise, and though often compelled by force, by Captain and officers, to and leave theirberths, they would crouchdown again on deck, by no ingenuity could even be prevailed upon vi stand up. We and hail llicin hired sleighs for them from the Esquimaux, token about on shore, and to the village, where, if not watched, they would lay down again. No care, as well in regard to food as to treatment, was spared; but owing io tho lethargy and unclcanliness of these men we were unable to save LhcinAfter the death of Capt.

END VOLUFX This number closes the minority of the Friend. On the commencement of a new volume,' our paper may be said to have attained its majority. A newspaper in these days of change to live through all the ups and downs of a fifth of the century, indicates that it has some of the elements of stability in its character. We could mention the names of many scores which have commenced their existence, but very soon died for the want of adequate support, since the first number of the Friend was issued, on the 18th of January, 1843. Reference to that period calls up many pleasant reminiscences of the past. The changes and revolutions which have passed over the people of the Hawaiian Islands, and the inhabitants of Polynesia generally, are very great. It would require more than one volume of large proportions to record the history of Polynesia and the Pacific Coasts of America, embraced within the interval between 1843 and 1863, yet the reader of the Friend, in reviewing its pages, will learn much relating to the history of this period—its commerce—its progress—its people—its civilization—its political and religious changes, and, in fine, our little sheet will be found a tolerably correct Monthly Record of Events. It may seem somewhat remarkable, yet it is literally true, that when the first number of the FrimJ was issued, in January, 1843, 1863. 89 [iftjgto, «0i.2f1. there was not a newspaper published In the* scrupulously avoided angry controversy with We have ever felt'that our English language at the Sandwich Islands,* other papers.another direction.

BSicoesnt The peculiarity of Father Taylor's preaching, and the success of his labors among seamen, have acquired a world-wide fame. In reading a little work, published by H. Hoyt, No. 9, Comhill, Boston, and entitled " The Organ Grinder," we have met with a few pages which are worthy of a place in our columns. The person described in these pages, was led to visit the Bethel, where the Rev. Mr. Taylor preaches, and he there witnessed scenes which made a deep and lasting impression upon his mind. Conference Meeting. AntOTiio wandered up and down the square. He had no object in view. He cared for nothing except to rid himself of the anxious thoughts, which, since his last conversation with his good friend, Mrs. Murray, continually intruded themselves into his mind. His guilt as a sinner before God, the danger of living on from day to day, careless and thoughtless of the salvation of his soul, his ignorance of the way to come to Christ, rushed with terrible power through his mind, until he was well nigh distracted. Unconsciously he had approached the Bethel chapel, from which, at this moment issued the sound of many voices, uniting in a hymn of praise to God. He stood under the open window and listened— reading it, and nil lovers of entertaining reading will not fail to give it a thorough IwMtCHeomihat,OutCwnisolet . perusal.

" In one part of the common a poor widow knelt, her hands and eyes upraised, while from her quivering lips an earnest, oh how earnest, prayer was heard, God have mercy on my son.'" Antonio, who had been leaning forward with strained eyes and clenched hands, listening to every word of the speaker, sank back pale and breathless with terror. For a few moments his heart beat so fiercely that he could not fix his mind upon the exhortation to immediate repentance, which followed. He covered his face with his hands and ' petitions, and saying, I will seek him, I do " have mercy on me seek him now ! O, God, and save me!" When he sat down, after the prayer, he saw that many around him were weeping, but he no longer wept. His soul was exultant: he longed to sing, to shout, and presently, in a voice broken by emotion, joined in a hymn which echoed the sentiments of his heart. The closing lines were these— 1 much, I'm much forgiven, " Love I'm a miracle of grace." said, " I hope God has pardoned me ; I have been a dreadful sinner, and it seemed too much to expect him to do it; but Ido think he has forgiven me for Christ's sake."

O, comrades, try him ; take him at his word ; see if one minute with his love isn't worth a whole life without it!" He sat down, quite overcome, while a low respohse came from the desk, " That's a true copy ! 0, how precious those words are!" It was now a late hour, and the meeting was about to be closed, when a low voice was heard from the back seat, and a man weeping, as he confessed that during his last voyage, he had gone back into sin, and backslidden from God. Now he expected God would say, " cut him down, why cumbereth he the ground ?" to tell a little story," exclaimed " I want a man springing up from his seat.

Fully believing that many of our readers will be anxious, at this peculiar crisis in the history of the Hawaiian Kingdom, to learn something respecting the successive sovereigns who have been elevated to the throne, since the Sandwich Islands were known to the civiliied world, we have prepared the following brief historic sketches: |was born in tho year 1753, or twenty-five years beforothc islands were discovered by Capt. Cook, '(1778.) At this period these islands were subdivided into several petty kingdoms. The best authorities assert that Kamehamoha descended from the line of the Kings of Maui, although he was tho reputed son of Koouu, a half brother of Kulaniopuu, king of Hawaii. This king died at Kau, Hawaii, in April, 1782, after a reign of thirty years, and left his kingdom jointly to a son Kiwaloa, and his reputed nephew, Kamehameha. Kamehuiueha Ist had several wives, but Kaaliumanu and Keopuolani wore regarded as special favorites. Jarves remarks that " Kamohamcha consorted with Kaahumanu from affection, and with Keopuolani from policy." According to tho policy of the times, the children of the latter, however, and not of the former, became heirs to tho throne. The name of Keopuolani is especially worthy of mention, as sho was the mother of Kamehameha II and 111. Sho wus the mother of eleven children, but only three grew up to mature years, viz, the two mentioned above and a sister, Nuhieunena. Much might bo written regarding the internal and foreign policy of the kingdom, as managed by Kamehameha I. Both written documents and oral tradition represent him as a most remarkablo man, eminently gifted by nature.—Ho has been styled tho " Napoleon of the Pacific." It most certainly indicated powers of a high order that bo should succeed in both conquoring the islands, and ruling them happily for near twenty years after they were conquered. Ho must have been a great general and good ruler. In a mollified souse, he doubtless merits the appellation sometimes givon, "the good" Kamehameha. Ho died on tho Bth of May, 1819, at Kailua, Hawaii, and was succeeded by his son Liholiho, under tho title of KiuiirliiilHl-lm 11. This royal personage was born on the island of Hawaii, in the year 1797. At the ago of twelve years ho was invested with royal honors by his illustrious father, for the purpose of securing the succession, and rendering tho Kumebaiuchu dynasty established. Ero long be imbibed the strango freak of visiting England, but why or whoreforo, no particular reason could be assigned, except that ho desired to see foreign lands, and sailor-Hko roam abroad.—ln Oetobcr, 1823, a council was held ut Luhuina, in which, altera full discussion, it was decided that he should embark iv the English ship, L'Aiglc, Capt.

In the following May they reached England, where they were kindly welcomed by Georgo IV. During a period of two monthsLiholiho and suite were the guests of the British government. They were nattered and feasted but the change of scenes and excitement were too great, for being attacked with the measles, both the king and queen diod. Tho king died on the 14th of July, and the queen six days previously. The British government then made the necessary preparations for conveying back to Hawaiian shores the remains of the deceased king and queen. This office was assigned to Lord Byron, cousin of the poet, commanding 11. B. M. frigate " Blonde.'' )n tho 6th May, 1825, this vessel arrived at Honolulu.

His majesty was adopted when a child by his predecessor, and this act of adoption was subsequently confirmed by the Hawaiian Legislature, lie obtained his rank as a high chief from his mother, Kinau, who was related in the most intimate manner to the Kuinoliumeha dynasty.

Ho was educated at the Royal School, in Honolulu, under the charge of Mr. and Mrs. Cooke. He wus married Juno 19th, 1850, to Her Majesty, who now mourns his death.

They were ever associated together during much of their eventful lives. Together they visited the United States, England and Frailer.

A very large assembly, composed of foreign residents and the sea-faring community, convened in Fort St. Church, at 11 A. M. A highly appropriate and eloquent discourse was delivered by the Key. E. Corwin. The singing was excellent, and the exercises generally were becoming the occasion. Prayers, suited to the occasion, were also offered at the Reformed Catholic Church. �on AnthlonyopeCount Trol America-Trshye. Man' Poor THE FRIEND, DECEMBER, 1863, 94 Mr. Sumner's Great Speech. On the 10th of September, Mr. Senator delivered a speech before an imaudience convened at Cooper Instimense tute, New York. His subject was : 'Our Foreign Relations." He fully discussed the Law of Intervention, with its applicability to France and England. The ability of the speech may be inferred from the fact that it attracted the attention of the British Ministry as soon as it was published in England. We have read this speech with great pleasure, and recommend its perusal to our readers. It is worth more than a great battle terminating victoriously ! The following paragraph will show that he handles slavery and the rebellion " without mittens" : »» s»r « MX tbe people of tbe United iuilgnxnt 8t»t«5 l»v« excelled us Lnglisbmen, so »» tbem in wliing I'll, «m« matter in wkieb, Sumner iustisv to lk<»m»elvo» pra»»e wbicb wo cannot take to ourselves or refuse to tbem, i» tbe matter of Question, ls »n6 ! can count up in a,6a/ all tbos« on wbom our e/e» ma/ rest, an<l learned tbe circumstances of tbeir lives, we sbal! b« llriven to conclude tbat nine-tentbs os tbat number would K»ve bad a better life us Americans tban tbe/ can b»ve in tbeir spberes»« Lnglisbmen. « « » I'be Irisnman wben be exputriales Kimsell to one ol tbose American states, loses muck os tbat aliectionnle, confining, masterworsbipping nature wbicb mnlies bim so good a fellow wben at Nome. 8ut be becomes more of n, won. lie assumes ciignit/ wbicb be bas never Known before. ri« learns to r«g»rd bis labor as bis own proper»v.

Its legislation is simply slavery In statutes ; slavery in chapters slavery In sections—with an enacting clause. Its diplomacy is slavery in pretended embassadors slavery in cunning letters slavery in coaening promises; slavery in persistent negotiations—all to secure for the candidatepower Its much desirod welcome. Say what you will; try to avoid it If you can ; you arc com)icllcrt to admit that the candidate power Is nothing else than organized slavery, which now in its madness—surrounded by Hscriminal clan,and led by its felon chieftains—braves the civilization of the age. Thereforeany recognition of this power will be a recognition of slavery itself, with welcome and benediction,Imparting to it new considerationand respectability, and worse still, securing to It new opportunity and foothold for the supremacy which it openly proclaims. Vainla it to urge the practice of nations in its behalf. Never before in history has such a candidacy been put forward in the name ofslavery and the terrible outrage Is aggravated by theChristian light which surrounds it. This Is not the age of darkness.

The Father of Waters again goes unvexed to the sea; thanks to the great Northwest for it. Nor yet wholly to them. Three hundred miles up they met New England, Empire, Keystone, and Jersey, hewing their way right and left. The sunny South, too, in more colors than one, also lent a hand. On the spot, their part of the history was jotted down in black and white. The job was a greaj national one, and let none be banned who bore an honorable part in it. While those who have cleared the great river may well be proud, even that is not all. It is hard to say that anything has been more bravely and well done than at Antietam, Murfreesboro, Gettysburg, and on many fields of lesser note. Nor must Uncle Sam's web feet be forgotten. At all the watery margins they have been present; not only on the deep sea, the broad bay, aßd the rapid river, but also up the narrow, muddy bayou; and wherever the ground was a little damp they have been and made their tracks. Thanks to all for the great Republic, for the principle it lives by and keeps alive—for man's vast future —thanks to all." to the BoSwudpietrcha,geotn aught Bowditch, in early life, was supercargo of a vessel trading to the East. His captain being asked, on one occasion, at Manila, how he had contrived to find his way, in the face of a N. E. monsoon, by mere dead reckoning, replied, "that he had a crew of twelve men, every one of whom could take and work a lunar observation as well, for all practical purposes, as Sir Isaac Newton himself, were he alive." During this conversation, Dr. Bowditch sat, " as modest as a maid, saying not a word, but holding his slate pencil in his mouth," while another person remarked that there was more knowledge of naviga"on board that ship, than there was in all le vessels that have floated in Manila Bay. -Memoir of Dr. Bowditch, by Nathaniel Incrsotl Bowditch, p. 27. the ; ' The Negro taxing part iir thi Gbbat Contest.—President Lincoln concludes his Illinois letter with the following paragraph referring to the part now taken by the negro: does not appear so distant as it " Peace I hope it will come soon, and come to did. stay, and so come as to be worth the keeping in all future time. It will then have been proved that among free men there can be no successful appeal from the ballot to the bullet, and that they who take such appeal are sure to lose their case and pay the cost. And there wULbe some black men who can remember Tnat with silent tongue and clenched teeth, and steady eye and well-poised bayonet, they have helped mankind on to this great consummation; while I fear there will be some white ones unable to forget that with malignant heart and deceitful speech they strove to hinder it. Still let us not be over sanguine of a speedy, final triumph. Let us be quite sober. Let us diligently apply the means, never doubting that a just God, in His own good time, will give us the Yours, very truly, rightful result. " A. Lincoln."' The True Spirit of a Federal Soldier. —John B. Marsh, son of Rev. Leonard Marsh, living South, was conscripted into the rebel army. Being a Union man, he deserted, but was captured and shot at Vicksburg recently. Before being taken from prison, he left the following note with a fellow prisoner lately returned : Kind friend—lf you ever reach our happy "lines, please have this put in the Northern papers, that my father, Rev. Leonard Marsh, who lives in Maine, may know what has become of me, and what I was shot for. It was for defending my noble country. I love her, and am willing to die for her. Tell my parents I am also happy in the Lord. My future is bright. I hope to see you when I pass out to die. John B. Marsh." When Marsh was placed on his coffin, he took off his hat and cried, " Three cheers for the old flag and the Union ;" then swung his hat and shouted, " Hurrah ! Hurrah ! Hurrah !" and fell pierced by a dozen bullets. The Negro Cook a good Navigator.The following amusing anecdote is found in Baron Zach's Correspondence Astronomiqut, Vol. IV. p. 162. It is a part of the Baron's account of his visit to Cleopatra's Barge, which entered the harbor of Genoa in 1817. The Baron was told by the proprietor and commander of the vessel, that his black cook conld find the ship's longitude by observation. " There he is," said the young man, pointing to a negro at the stern of the vessel, in his white apron, with a fowl in one hand and a dressing knife in the other. " Come here,is John," cried tlie Captain, "this gentleman suprised at your calculating the longitude; tell him about if." Zach. What method do you employ in calculating the longitude by lunar distances ? The Cook. "It is indifferent to me. I make use of the method of Maskelyne, of Lyons, of Witchell, and of Bowditch ; but I prefer Dunthorne, with which I am more familiar, and which is shorter." I could not butexpress Longfellow beautifully says, that my surprise at language like this from a Sunday is the golden clasp that binds to- black cook, with a bleeding fowl in one "gethcr hand and a larding knife in the other the volume of the week." �95 THE FRIEND, DECEMBER, IMS.

We never saw the house more densely filled. The music, both vocal and instrumental, was executed in the very highest style. We shall venture to make a remark, which perhaps we had better withhold, and yet we will not. We do wish our Amateur performers, in the musical line, would furnish the community with one concert, embracing a few simple ballads, allowing the audience to hear each word distinctly enunciated, and that too in the English language. It was our privilege for once to listen to Jenny Lind, the Swedish Nightingale, in the Treifiont Temple, Boston, and never shall we forget the peculiar style, in which she sang "John Anderson," ice. She enunciated every word clearly and distinctly. That simple ballad was the piece of all others which called forth applause. Now, Honolulu may well be proud of its superior musical performers. We have some whose performances are of the very highest order, but for popular effect, if their singing was more simple and less artistic and operatic, we are convinced very many in the community would be better pleased. We should not have presumed to make this suggestion unless some, far better able to judge in these matters, had expressed the same opinion, and some of these are connected with the Musical Society. We ore inclined to think that even the President, Dr. Hoffmann, would not be disinclined to see the experiment tried. Should it be ventured upon, we are ronfident the community will come forward and liberally patronize the effort. IHndaewp iD ncne ay. The 28th of November was observed ns a National holyday, being the 20th Anniversary of Hawaiian Independence, or ol the signing of the Joint Treaty guaranteeing the Hawaiian Independence, by the Great Powers of England and France. The customary salutes were fired at 12 M., and all places were closed. In the evening there was a reception at the Palace, agreeable to public notice. It was the first time the Palace had been thus opened since the much lamented death of the Prince of Hawaii. The sickness of His Majesty prevented him from appearing upon the occasion, and the duty of presiding fell upon Her Majesty the Queen, but, alas, how little did she, or any of the gay and brilliant assemblage on that occasion, imagine that the Palace walls would so soon be hung in mourning for His Majesty Kamehameha IV.

Our time, at their several stations, was necessarily short, but I had tbe opportunity of seeing their schools, and of addressing the people, and spent two Sabbaths in tbe group of Islands. We touched at each of the stations—and taking on board the Missionaries, went to Oomoa, on the Island of Fatuhiva, tbe place designated for the Annual Meeting of the Mission. The meeting was commenced on Monday, October 19th, ami continued by adjournment until the'JlM. Various topics connected with the spread of the Gospel were introduced and carefully discussed. Among tbe subjects claiming the attention of the meeting, was that of the abandonment of the Mission, and the return of the Missionaries to thexe Islands. The reasons for and against the measure were carefully considered, and the unanimous decision was, that the field must not be given up. Not one member of the Mission wished to leave the work and return toll Hawaii. I have prepared a report of the Missionary work in those Islands for the last seventeen months, wbicb I hope to present at the next monthly meeting of the Board. You will regret to hear that the small pox is prevailing at the Island of Nuubiva, and that fears were entertained that it would spread throughout the B. W. Parker. Yours, truly, Islands.

Humboldt held that there was a second class of Sanscrit words extending to remote dialects, such as the Tagala and Polynesian. The wide diffusion of these words he attributes to an older form of the Sanscrit or "pre-Sanscrit" language. This idea was taken up by Prof. Bopp, so justly celebrated as a profound philologist, whose comparative grammar of the Indo-European languages, will forever form, as Max Muller says, the safe and solid foundation of comparative philology. In 1841 he published an elaborate treatise on the relation between the iWalayo-Polynesian and the Indo-European languages. As the modern languages of the South of Europe grew up out of the ruins of the Latin language, whose grammatical structure had crumbled to pieces, so Prof. Bopp thought that the Malayo-Polynesian had arisen out of the wreck of the Sanscrit. But the dissolution of the grammatical structure of the Sanscrit in the Oceanic languages had been much more thorough than that of the Latin in ift daughters, which preserve much of the old system of" conjugation and have wholly abandoned it only in their treatment of the nouns. The Malayo-Polynesian idioms, on the contrary, he says, " have entirely forsaken the path in which their Sanscrit mother moved; they have taken off the old garment and put on a new one, or appear, as in the islands of the Pacific, in complete nudity." The result is that the only certain and reliable proofs of derivation will be wanting, since grammatical affinity is out of the question, and we can only depend on isolated verbal comparison, which throws open the door to the wildest conjectures. In view of the important bearing of the question on the early history of mankind, and of the fact that a somewhat similar theory has been recently advanced by Dr. Rae, of Hana, I may be pardoned for dwelling on it at some length. In justice to Dr. Rae, I most add that he reverses the relationship, making Sanscrit the child and Polynesian the parent language. Few scholars, I think, in the present state of the science of language, would endorse Bopp's theory, that the Polynesian is merely a descendant of the Sanscrit in the last stages of decay, and I doubt whether that illustrious scholar would now adhere to the views which he expressed 22 Years ago. Everything about this language smiws that it is in a primitive stage of developement, in its childhood, so to speak, and that, instead of having lost its inflections, it has never had any to lose. While most of Bopp's comparisons appear far-fetched and fanciful, he has pointed out some striking coincidences, especially in the pronouns and numerals, which I will insert here. He compares the Polynesian • an languages, as in me." The Hawaiian na, rain, the Malay ujan, Malagasy urana, he refers to the Sanscrit varshana; the Hawaiian wahine, Tongan fafine, and Malagasy rat»a»e,tothe Sanscrit oadhtl, vadhuku; the Polynesian po, night, to the Sanscrit ksapo; wa'a or vaka, a canoe, to the Sanscrit pluvaka; and la'au or rakau, a tree, to the Sanscrit vrks'a, Pracrit, rukk'a, and •' It may be accidental," he Gipsey ruk. says, " that the Polynesian ra for sun agrees with the Sanscrit rati, or wetu, a star, with ketu, a comet, or wai, water, with wdri, or awi, a river, with Apa, water, or pakau, a wing, with paksa, or reo, speech, with rava, voice, oxaire, to go, (a mistake for haere,) with ardmi. I go, or tore, way, with tarami. I go over. But that accident should " have played her game with all these words is not to be believed." After making all necessary deductions I am inclined to believe, with Pritchard, that there will remain a few cases which cannot be attributed to accidental coincidence, but by no means such as to indicate a family relationship. Such words may be relics of the primeval unity of human speech, and as old as language itself. A manifest analogy has also been found in the pronouns and numerals of the Arabic, Egyptian and Mongolian languages with those of the Indo-European class. There is much greater resemblance both in words and structure between the Malay and Indo-Chinese languages than between either of them and the Sanscrit. Quite a list could be given, if necessary, of Chinese and Polynesian words that have some resemblance. For instance, compare the Chinese ngo, 1, with the Micronesian nga, the Chinese yu or ua, rain, and Polynesian ua, Chinese ngau, to bite, and Polynesian ngau or nau. to chew, Chinese Kotsau, blood, and Polynesian koko, Chinese Thai, the sea, and Polynesian tai. Sec. Many of these analogies would no doubt disappear on closer investigation. I'rol. Buschmann on Bopp's Theory. Prof. Buschmann, in a work published in 1843, on the Tahitian and Marquesan languages, rejects entirely the theory of Bopp. He says that the three great families of languages, the Indo-European, the Semitic or Arabian, and the Malay. " have no other affinity to each other than is common to the human race in general." Again he says, to sacrifice half the facts than "toIt is better supply them with vague inventions, which bring suspicion even on those whose correctness is proved. But in declaring this opinion, I find myself opposed to some modern lndologues, who think that they can solve all etymological problems with their Sanscrit. When we have to found etymologies on such varied permutations of letters, or upon essential changes in the form of words, we have arrived upon ground where all certainlua, two, with the Sanscrit dwa, and the ty ceases, and arbitrary, multiform hypotheLatin duo; the Polynesian torn, three, with ses come into play.

As Bunsen remarks, Chinese and German may be of the same stock, but it would be madness to compare German words with Chinese. 2. In comparing languages of different families we must compare tb* most ancient form of the one with the most ancient of the other. In comparing Polynesian with Malay or Malagasy, for instance, we must view thelanguage as a whole and not base any conclusions upon Hawaiian or Tahitian forms which may have lost or softened down some of the original consonants. No one can doubt that ika and not fa is the original form of the word for fish. So kite is the original of ike, "to know," kupenga of upena, "net," and kese of the forms kehe, 'ese, ke, and 'c, "other" or " strange." That form is to be considered original which accounts for "all the rest. Thus saka is the original of sa'a, faka,fa'a, and ha'a, to dance. But when we would rise a step higher, and include the whole Malayo-Polynesian family of languages in a still higher classification, it is necessary to take a wider range, and to select the primitive form of a word from a comparison of all the Malayo-Polynesian languages. Thus, undoubtedly, the Malay and Javanese ujan, " rain," is older than the Polynesian ua; the Malay tatik, than the Polynesian forms tasi, tahi " sea," tai; the Bughis and Samoan stmt, than and the Tongan huhu, Hawaiian v, " breast." Again, takut, the Malay for fear, is the original of the Polynesian mataku, mata'u and maka'u; and sakit, Malay for sick, of masaki, mahadi and ma'i. Some apparent analogies disappear on a closer examination of the original meaning of words. Thus many persons have observed the resemblance between the Hawaiian mele, and the Greek melos, a song. But the latter originally meant a " limb," "indmber," and afterwards, or strain." It in a tropical sense, " is necessary in such inquiries to seek primitive and material meaning of a Vord, and carefully distinguish it from the later spiritual or figurative signification. Hale's Report of C. S. Kxploring F.xpedltion. Horatio Hale's Report of the United States Exploring Expedition, on Ethnology, published in 1846, marks an era in our knowledge, of Polynesia, and leaves very little to be done in regard to the comparison of the Polynesian dialects with each other. The chapter which treats of the Polynesian migrations is far superior to everything else that has been written on the subject. He shows that Hawaii is the key word which unlocks the mystery of the Polynesian migrations, and that the Samoan group, and the Island of Savaii in particular, may be regarded as the centre from which Polynesia was colonised. He gives us a comparative grammar of Polynesian, which is generally accurate, besides a vocabulary of about 1100 radical words in their original Polynesian form, l. c., that form which will account for all the rest. Under each radical are given the various forms which it takes in the different dialects and a list of its derivatives and compounds. This great work, which contains grammars and vocabularies of several languages previously unknown, will be a lasting memorial of its author and an honor to his country.

Senator Sumner, a copy of his speech on " Our Foreign Relations," a copy of his oration on "The Rebellion; its Origin and Mainspring," and a copy of a document entitled " Our Domestic Relations." If any of our American readers are troubled with a spinal affection or weakness in their joints when contemplating the prospects of their beloved country, we would earnestly recommend to them u thorough perusal of these and other speeches of Senator Sumner. One of our clerical brethren says that he has read aloud to his wife, Mr. Sumner's speech on " Our Foreign Relations." He speaks of it as most admirable. This speech appears to have attracted special attention in England. It is unquestionably one of his very ablest speeches. We have read this as we have read his other speeches, with profound respect for Mr. Sumner's abilities as a statesman, an orator, a jurist and most worthy representative of the political principles of the good old Bay State—Massachusetts. The race of giants is not dead ! The career of Senator Sumner is one of the most interesting, remarkable and instructive. It seems but as yesterday since he was struck down by the dastardly blow of a chivalric son of South Carolina. The grave has closed over his mortal remains, Senator Sumner, however, walks the Senate Chamber, and wields a most potent influence over the destinies of the great Republic. His views and opinions as unfolded in those great speeches, " Freedom National; Slavery Sectional," " The Landmark of Freedom," " The Crime against Kansas," and " Barbarism of Slavery," are now giving shape to the policy of the American people in regard to the African race. By late papers we regret to notice the announcement of the death of Mr. Sumner's brother George, whose talents and fame were so honorable to himself and country. . 1, 1864. Editor’s Table.

Some of his writings have related to the United States and their history. In 1858, he published a work entitled "History of the Political Institutions in the United States, from 1620 to 1753." He has recently published some " essays " or struggle now ra" papers," relating to the ging in America, and he shows by unmistakeable proofs that his sympathies are with the North.

Here is an example which ought not to be lost, and which I signalize for all pious souls, for all generous hearts, that do not despair of God, or of the future." It is refreshing and animating to read the utterances of a mind like Laboulage, or of Gasparin. Rest assured their names will not be forgotten whefssPiis fearful war has an end. Senator Sumner, in his great speech on the 10th of September, in New York, remarks, in regard to the noble writers of England who have defended America, " for the honor of England, let it be known, that there are Englishmen who have stood firm and unshaken amidst the painful recreancy. Their names cannot be forgotten." Such are the names of Cairnes, Cobden, Bright, Mill, Newman and others.

Y. : This large and populous island appears destined to play a more conspicuous part in the commercial, political and religious affairs of the nations of the earth, than it hitherto has done. We regret that our limits do not allow us to present our readers with a full and thorough resume of all that is at present known in regard to that island. We can only refer our readers to Ellis's "Three Visits to Madagascar," in 1853, 1854, 1856, and also to a most interesting article in the American Eclectic Magazine, for November, copied from Fraser's Magazine. This latter article brings down the history of the island to the very latest dates. Our readers will remember the letter of Mr. Ellis published in the November number of the Friend. The history of the island during the last quarter of a century shows that French brandy, Catholic priests, Puritan missionaries, intriguing traders, ambitious adventurers, and last of all, the celebrated Madame PfeifTer, have played no unimportant part in the checkered scenes of that island. So terribly has the country suffered from the intemperance of the rulers, in times past, that one of the first articles of the new Constitution contains this clause : Her Majesty shall not drink intoxicating " liquors." The new Sovereign ascends the throne under the name of Rabodo I. She was the wife of the late King, who was put to death by his chiefs. We can only allude to one most singular and remarkable incident in the history of Madagascar. In 1845, one English and two French men-of-war attacked Tamatavc, but were repulsed by the native soldiers. In the engagement certain English and French soldiers and sailors were killed, and in defiance their skulls were placed upon poles, where they remained for eight years ! The Queen of Madagascar haughtily sent word to English authorities of Mauritius, " Each of all the kings of the earth has had his land apportioned to him by God, and each rules his own land in his own way. Our Queen attempts not to rule your Queen and your Queen must not attempt to rule ours." She refused to hold intercourse with foreign nations, and intercourse wus cut off from 1845 to 1853, when it was renewed by Mr. Ellis, who collected among the merchants of Mauritius t15,000, the indemnitymoney demanded by the Queen of Madagascar. The religious history of the island abounds with incidents of most thrilling interest. The Russian Admiral Lessofisky pays Admiral Farragut the high compliment of calling him "the m»l remarkable and successful dstsl leader of the age. '' �5 THE FRIEND, JANUARY, 186 1. Voyage to Marquesas Islands; or Report Missionary W. PARKER, Delegate of the llnwniinu Miniomir; Society. By Rev. B. to The schooner,.. Matwokawai, chartered th(* RiinnliAo in * * take supplies to the missionaries in tne - il,. miccinnaripfi Marquesan Islands, sailed from Honolulu on the 24th of August. By appointment of the Board of the Hawaiian Evangelical Association I went as their delegate to attend the annual meeting of the missionaries, and confer with them on subjects relating to the interests of the missionary work and the propagation of the Gospel of Christ in that group of Islands. Our passage was a long one. For the first three days after leaving the harbor of Honolulu, we had light winds and calms, till off the most Southern part of Hawaii. Here we took the usual trade winds. With them we ran for one week to Lat. 11, N., where the trades left us, and for eighteen days we had calms, light winds and head winds. During these eighteen days we made scarcely more than two degrees of latitude, though by a strong easterly current, and an occasional light south wind, we made easting, and were at one time about five degrees to the eastward of the Marquesan Islands. We crossed the line in Long. 13, 49, thirty-seven days after leaving Honolulu. On the 6th of October, forty-three davs out, we made the Island of Uuhuga, one of the most northerly of the the mission was limited to fourteen days. In this time, the supplies were to be taken to the six different stations on three islands —the mission families to be taken from their respective stations to the place of general meeting—the busines of the meeting transacted, and at its close the several families to be returned to their stations. Considerable time was required to get from one station to the other—and more to get from one island to another island. We made the passage from station to station and from island to island, often by beating, with the wind almost directly ahead. It was easy to see, if the work was to be done in the days assigned for it, we must work with our might. As our arrival at the island was so unexpected by the mission families, and our time for doing the work so short, none of the wives of the missionaries left their stations to attend the meeting. My time at the stations was necessarily very short, usually no longer than was required to land the supplies, and take the missionaries on board. When the wants of the vessel occasioned a longer delay, I improved the time to visit the schools, travel up the valleys, call at the villages, attend a meeting when one was to be held at the station, converse with natives as oppoatunity offered. In giving some account of the mission work in the islands for the last year, I depend partly on the annual report presented by each missionary at the general meeting, group. We ran along in near the shore, and this account may as well be given as we hoping to find the Bay at which reside the pass along in our voyage from station to Messrs.

We ran along the north and mission station, and about three miles diswest parts of the Island, and went some tant from it. This station was first taken during the last voyage of the Morning Star distance past the mission station, not knowing its location. No one from the shore to the islands.

We are highly gratified to notice in a late copy of the New York Observer, that this gentleman has donated $6000 to the funds of Oahu College. We hope other well disposed friends of education will "go and do likewise," so that Institution may be placed upon a permanent foundation. It has been our privilege, during years past, to receive frequent communications from Mr. Hunnewell. In a letter, dated Boston, June 24th, 1863, we £nd some remarks relating to the landing of the missionaries on these islands, in 1820, which are worthy of publication. After reading Steen Bifle, the Danish commander's, remarks, as published in the Friend, he remarks : " I have never seen the true cause given for the delay in granting permission for the first missionaries, by the brig Thaddeus, to land on the islands, in 1820—which was the objection of old Mr. John Young, whose influence was considerable at that time. You may remember I was on the spot at the time and had a little knowledge of the language, and was personally acquainted with Mr. Young and with many of the principal chiefs. [Mr. Hunnewell was first officer of the brig.] Mr. Young to me, at his own house, professed to be very glad that the missionaries had come among them to preach and to teach. He got down his old and I saw him bible, brushed the reading it on my visit to his house, while awaiting the action of the Council of Chiefs, then assembled at Kailua. All the chiefs that I conversed with were alike rejoiced that the missionaries had come to teach them the Palapala. Impatient at the delay in giving them permission to land, I demanded of them (that is, the chiefs) the reason why they delayed the permission to land, when all professed to be glad that they had come to teach them. The reply of the chiefs was that Olohana (John Young) in their councils objected, saying that King George would be huhu (or displeased) if they allowed them to land, and was disposed to delay their landing until they could obtain the permission of King Keorgie. This delay was compromised by granting permission to land for one year, (which is well known.) I distinctly remember Naihe as one of the prominent chiefs who gave the information and explanation at the time. I was most acquainted with him and his wife Kapaolani, having lived neighbors and friends at Honolulu in 1817, 1818. " I have received the consignment of two bales of cotton, near 600 pounds, from Mr. Whitney, now on its way home in tbe Arctic, this being the first consignment of the kind. It gives me great pleasure to receive it, and it shall have my best efforts to obtain satisfactory sales." �THE FRIEND, JANUARY, IS6 4. 6 RTeNhptoAineruSociety. HSfaolnimurse’ . Jmt nine yean have passed away sinoe the enterprise wa* undertaken of building a Sailor's Home m Honolulu. It has.fallen to my lot as Chairman of the Executive Committee, to prepare the Annual Reports, which have been read and publiibed. 1 could wish this duty might dovolvo upon aome other member of the Board of Truetew batfrom my position as Chaplain, it has been argued that I should not decline this duty. So far as familiar acquaintance with the internal and external management of the " Home," was concerned, I cannot plead ignorance, for scarcely a day has passed since the Homo was built, that I have not visited the building and hocame more or led acquainted with the inmates, and, furthermore, acquainted with the unwearied efforts ofMrs. Thrum and Mrs. Oat, to do all in their power for the oorafort and welfare of the boarders. Mo one who has not become thus intimately acquainted with the daily management of tho Home, can have but a fuint idea of the difficulties attending the carrying forward such a boarding establishment. Some of those difficulties were foreseen, and others havo been made apparent from year to year. With the best of management the loss upon the bills has been 10 per cent. Thus Mrs. Thrum and Mrs. Out have really been the most generous contributors to support tho Home. They have contributed, although sometimes reluctantly, and by compulsion, hundred* of dollars where others have donated their tent. Still in thisrespect the loss upon the bills of the boarders has not been greater than at the large Homos of London and New York. In some respects we have been even more successful than have tho managers of those establishments. It was never expected tho Home would bo a money-making establishment, and it has only been by the strictest economy that the institution has been carried along. I am happy to report that as usual the home has been kept open another year, and it has to-day from twenty to thirty hoarders sitting at its tables. When a visitor witnessos the quiet and ordet which pervades the establishment, as much so its that of the best boarding house here or elsewhere, I think he must acknowttge that the sailor is far better off who becomBK inmate of the Home, while on shore, than those who go elsewhere. The question arises, with all our experience, with a knowledge of the difficulties in the way, and obstacles to be overcome, " Shall the Home be carried forward or shall it be given up?" This is an important question. If given up, then we have only to disband and surrender our Charter back to the Government: we have merely to announce, that all things considered we have abandoned the enterprise, and hereafter no efforts will be made for the improvement of seamen during their temporary sojourn amongst us. This would be the easiest method. This is what many doubtless desire. It will save money to the friends of the cause. Rest assured that 1 am far, very far, from recommending any such course. I never felt more inclined to urge forward a liberal support of the institution. I have witnessed the good whioh has been accomplished, and whioh is now being done by the establishment. To abandon the enterprise would be a lasting disgraco to the good people of Honolulu and of the islands generally. Oar motto should be "onward!" and under all the difficulties and perplexities attending the enterprise, endeavor to do tho best that oar limited meant will allow, and If more funds are needed, to call upon the community and the friends of Seamen elsewhere to oome forward with their means. I am most happy to report, that the home this evening is not only oat of debt, but has more than one hundred dollars in the handa of oar treasurer. During the past year no repairs haw bean made upon the building, but the time has oome when something ought to be done. The main building is suffering for the want of a new coat of paint, and somo slight ropairs. The bedding, too, needs to be renewed in part, and some other outlays ought to be made, tho whole amounting, as near as I can now estimato. to between four and five hundred dollars. Ono fourth fart of that amount wo have on band, and it is to bo hoped the balanco may bo forthcoming from the friends of the institution. Perhaps somo of our liberal-minded merchants may be inclined to give oil, paints and such other articles as aro needed, while it is to be hoped others muy bo found who will send a contribution of sheets, pillow-cases and bed-spreads, which arc now much needed to koep our supply gcod. It must be borne in mind, that at the first starting of this enterprise it was fully understood that to seamen-boarders the lodging was to be furnished gratis. The price charged for board it was never supposed would be sufficient to sustain the establishment. There was a margin left, to bo supplied by tho benevolent in the community. This is the method pursued by the friends of seamen in England and America. Experience bus shown that wo must pursue the same plan if wo would see tlie Homo prosperous and useful. Under theso circumstances I trust the Trustees will adopt such measures as, in their wisdoni, they deem wisest and best. S. 0. Damon, Chairman of Eimt/nr Committee, ReofptTorheasueSociety.

To the Honolulu Sailor's Home Society : At the date of the last annual Report of your Treasurer, (Nov. 20th, 1862,) there was cash in his hands amounting to eight dollars and seventy cents, and there were unpaid bills outstanding against the Society amounting to $124 07; all of which were paid during the month of November, so that at the end of November the Society was free from debt, and has remained so evor — British Civil Wars.— War Debts. There are no less than thirty-seven rebellions recorded in English history, between the time of William the Conqueror, A. D. 1069, and the Irish outbreak in 1803. Several others have since occurred. The British foreign wars have been incessant, and their expenses have been enormous. That of the American revolution was six hundred and thirty millions of dallars, and the contest with the first Napoleon cost five thousand seven liundercd and ninety-five millions.

There is no creature in the world so malignant as the cat. She prowls around our nests, cats up our young, and bites off our own heads. She feeds so daintily she must be good eating herself. She is lighter to enrry than a kid, and then you would get a famous grip in her loose fur! Why don't you feed on cat ?" " Oh," replied the eagle, " 1 had a worm here this morning, who asked me, ' Why don't you feed on sparrow V Is that a piece of worm's skin that I see on your beak, child ?" The sparrow cleaned her head on her feathers, and said, •'1 should like to see the worm that asked you that question." " Stand forth, worm," said the eagle; the worm appeared ; the sparrow snapped him up, and then went on with his argument against cats. Rev. W. R. Alger. — since. Good Humor.—Keep in good humor.

On seeing the rocks he repeated his observation and found the result of the two agree. As Ills chronometer proved correct m all of his land-falls afterward, lie feels certain Unit the position or the rocks as aliove stated, is perfectly correct. The rocks were passed by Captain Itcdtield within the length of his vessel. The largest one he judges to lie about fifty feet broad and one hundred and fifty feet long; 8. 8. K. of which, by compass, alwut a quarter of a mile, he saw a discoloration of the water, it having the appearance m there being another and a smaller rock. On passing the larger rock, all of his boats being on deck repairing at the time, Captain Kedfield did not stop to sound ; but from the color of the rock and long ribbon kelp growing on It up to the water's edge, he judged it to have probably ten feet water, and in a heavy sea to break badly. Reed's Hocks, as laid down on the charts, have never been found by vessels arriving st this port, many of whom have reported sailing over the locution. The rocks seen by Captain Redtield are in the same longitude, but eight miles lurther south. He believes that they are most dangerous to shipping, both on account of their not being seen until close ou them,anil from the general disbeliefof sea captains in thuexistence of Reed's Rocks. While speaking of shoals, we may suggest an expedition to determine wbether'the shoal laid down ou the Admiralty charts in North Lat. 27" 40' W. Long. 140° 49' really exists, or is only a myth. It lies in the track of vessels bound from San Francisco to this port, and it may have been on this or some other unknown shoal that the U. S. Sloop ol war Levant was lost three years ago.

FEBRUARY 5, 1804. Put Down the Rebellion. There is a little island among the thousand islands of Micronesia, called Ponape or Ascension. It is as far to the westward of the Sandwich Islands, as the Sandwich Islands are westward of California. There is one, and only one missionary upon it, and he has been there about twelve years, living very much isolated and alone. In more points than one, his situation resembles Alexander Selkirk, on the Island of Juan Fernandez: I think of my native land" When In a moment I seem to be there." Although he is as far as possible for him his heart of loyalty beats strong in the hour of her peril. We copy the following paragraphs from a letter recently received from him. Although it is dated nearly a year ago, yet it has just been received, so uncertain and indirect are our means of communication. This came via Shanghae, China. "From the few war papers I get, I think it must be dark on the other side, (». c. in America.) How can this mission or any other be kept going long, if that awful rebellion at home continues ? Much as I love Micronesia and the missionary work, my voice is to carry on the war, put down the rebellion, if to do so every missionary must be recalled, and if every cent of money must go to feed and clothe the soldiers ! I believe in peace and good will to all men, but believing as I do, that neither will come to America, or to this world, till that rebellion and with it slavery is put down, I must confess to a good deal of interest in the war news. It is not alone as an American, that I feel this interest and anxiety, it is that I am a citizen ot the higher kingdom, put into the greatest danger by the madness of Christ's enemies. to go from America, yet M.21. 9 CONTENTS February, .(DttSmts, FEBRUARY 5, 1864.

If, as is generally supposed, the black race were the first settlers in the Pacific, the wave of immigration which peopled Polynesia must have swept around them to the north, and at a later period the Micronesians may have moved in and closed up the rear. IV. Australia. The Australian race unite to the dusky hue and features of the African, the fine straight hair of the European. Their languages are highly complex and agglutinative, and more like those of the North American Indians than any others with which we are acquainted. All the particles of time, mood, direction and other relations are postfixed to the verb. These languages have great facility in composition. No other Oceanic language can show compounds like bumalalimambUngariawagorri. They are undoubtedly radically distinct from the Malayo-Polynesian languages, but have left some traces of former contact on the dialects of the small islands near New Guinea on the west. Strange as it may appear they present some striking analogies, especially in the pronouns, to the Tamulian dialects of Southern India, as has been shown by Mr. Norris. T. Malarsla. The Malay Archipelago in its diversity of languages presents a striking contrast to the uniformity of Polynesia. Yet these idioms can be classified in three great groups, the West Malayan, of which the Malay and Ja- Asiatic Origin of she I'oli nraiim Rsscr. We now come to a still more difficult subject, viz., the connection of this race and language with the continent of Asia. Here all history and tradition fail us, and remote analogies of language are our only guide through the profound darkness, which conceals the early history of mankind. No man can pretend to speak with confidence on this question, still we can briefly indicate the direction in which the foremost explorers of ethnology are leading us. First, it is necessary to observe that the languages of Asia and Europe are naturally divided by their grammatical structure into three classes, which probably are at the same time so many successive stages of grammatThe first is called the monosyllabic or tonic class, in which there is nothing like what we call grammar, including the Chinese, " that great monument of inorganic structure," and the languages of Cochin China und Farther India. The second class are called agglutinative or Turanian languages, and are distinguished by the merely mechanical union of their particles, which are, as it were, glued to the root, instead of growing out of it, and are still felt by the speaker as distinct elements. This includes all the American, Siberian, and Tartaric languages besides those of Thibet and Southern India. In the third and most advanced class, called inflected languages, the root and formative particles have been fused into a living, organic unity, as in the Indo-European and Semitic families, of ical which the Greek is the moat perfect 11 type. Now the Malay family occupies an hurrible position in the second class, though they still form a decided contrast with their nearest neighbors, the monosyllabic languages of Farther India. Secondly, let us again observe that even from historical records it is certain that the present occupants of Farther India are not the original settlers, but have for centuries been moving southward from China, absorbing or driving out the aborigines. A somewhat similar change took place in the peninsula of Hindostan, into which the Arians or Sanscrit-speaking race descended from the northwest between 2000 and 1500 B. C, and subdued the original Turanian inhabitants, on whom they imposed their religion, their system of caste, and to some extent their language. The original inhabitants of India are divided into'the Tamil race in the south, and the Bhotiya race in the north, who are allied to the Thibetans. These last still preserve their original language and customs in the valleys of the Ganges and Brahmaputra, and under the shadows of the Himmaleh Mountains. They are represented in Burmah by numerous aboriginal tribes, of whom the best known are the Karens, who have attracted so much interest by the simple and faithful spirit in which they have received Christianity. Mr. Hodgson, the highest living authority on the spoken languages of India, and J. K. Logan of Singapore, have discovered remarkable, and, as they think, conclusive analogies between the languages and customs of the Bhotiya race and those of Southeastern Malaysia and Polynesia. According to their view, the primeval history of Southeastern Asia was somewhat as follows: In the first period, say 2000 B. C, we should have found Southern Hindostan together with the lower peninsula of Farther India, and the Archipelago occupied by black races, while Thibeto-Indian tribes occupied the basin of the Ganges, and spread through Burmah and along the coast of Farther India. The advance first of the Arian race into Hindostan, and subsequently of the Chinese population into Farther India, caused a general southeastern movement of that part oi the Turanian nice into the Archipelogo. The black aborigines were driven into the interior of some of the islands and peninsulas, and entirely expelled from others. The fact that they retained New Guinea and the neighboring islands may be ascribed to their deadly climate. Probably a still more ancient race by had preceded these, and was driven them from the genial islands of the West Pacific to the boundless and dreary wilds of Australia, where it sunk to the lowest stage of barbarism. The above hypothesis is rendered still more plausible by tbe evidence of customs, systems of relationship, and religious ideas, on which I do not propose to dwell at pressent. Thus all the lines of philological research seem to converge, and point to the highlands of Southwestern Asia,as the cradle of the human race. When we remember that the science of language is still in its infancy, and when we consider the splendid triumphs which it has already achieved, have we not reason to hope that it may yet solve the great problem of �.

B. W. PARKER, Dolegme of the HawaiianMissionary Society. [Con.tinued.l Taking the missionaries on board we sailed for the Island of Illvaoa. We were three days making the passage, a distance of seventy miles, but the usual southeast trade winds are almost directly ahead. On this Island are four stations of the Mission, three on the north and easterly side, and one on the south side of the Island. We first went to Hanamenu for Laioha. This is not his station, but he had been stopping here with his family the last three months. Here we found the Marquesan Honiae, who came to the Hawaiian Islands with Mr. Bicknell, spent some time here, and returned to the Marquesas Islands on the Morning Star last year. In the evening we had an examination of the school here. There were eighteen scholars present. Three read in the Hawaiian New Testament. After the examination we had a meeting with those who assembled, to the number of thirty. I may here say, Honiae, the Marquesan, is really the missionary, teaching and leading his countrymen in theright way. Kaukau, located ten miles from him, speaks of him in high terms, of his character, and of his labors. Under his example and influence, some of the people in the Bay are turning from their tabus, some are cultivating the soil, after his example, so that want is unknown in the valley. Kaukau also says, his life is blameless, free from the immoralities of the heathen around him, and thatall who see him admire. Surely it is the Grace of Christ that can so change a heathen. houses, furnished themselves with more cloth- ing and other articles of civilized life* They fence their lands and cultivate the soil. I have furnished them with seeds—we have no famine in this valley." The station of Ilananhi Is on Hiwaoa, and is occupied by Laioha who went out in the Morning Star last year. We did not touch at this station, having found t\jfi missionary tit another place. He reports twenty-two scholars in the school, and about the same number attend meeting on the Sabbath. There is one church member, a Chief, at the station. Laioha has been but one year in the field. Pusnaa. At this station I spent part of a day on shore, and attended an examination of the school. There are twenty-eight scholars, eight are readers, eight in spelling, twelve in the alphabet and in words of two, three, and four letters. From thirty to forty, and sometimes more, attend meeting on the Sab- bath. In his report, Kekela says: " Sabbath services have been continued thelast year without interruption. At the close of the fore- noon service we have a Sabbath school, in which we use the catechism, and the portions of the Bible translated into the Marquesan language. Two of our church members have gone to the valley of Hooumi, on the Island of Nukuhiva. They are teaching the natives of that valley, and cultivating a piece of land which the Chief gave for the use of the mission, should one be established there. I have visited them twice, and found them doing well. The natives of the valley are friendly and a few attend on their instruction. "I have spent considerable time the last year in visiting the other islands of the group. " What hath God wrought ?

I thought it to be one of the best and most promising fields in the islands. In the afternoon tbe school came together for examination. Twenty-six scholars were pit sent. Hapuku said he had forty attending school. They read, wrote on slates, answered questions on the map—Hawaiian globe map— also questions in Arithmetic. One of the scholars wrote on the slate in a very fair hand the following sentence, " Kaoha outou, c na manihii mama honua c mai,"—** Our kind regards to you, strangers from other lands." After the examination I addressed the assembly through Hapuku as interpreter. About one hundred were present. Kekela also addressed them, and the exercises closed with prayer. The missionary of this station says, in his nnnual report: " Public worship has been kept up twice on the Sabbath the last year, with no interruptions. Also a Sabbath school, in which have been taught portions of Scripture and the Catechism. I have visited among the people, have been often to the adjacent vallies to teach the inhabitants and instruct them into a knowledge of the True God, and of salvation by Jesus Christ. "To meet my wants and provide for my family I have spent a part of my time in cultivating the soil," The following are his statistics : - Whole number of natives in Atuona and 1359 adjacent vallies, 40 Scholars who lutve attended school, 37 Number of deaths in 1862, 11 do., Births Having taken on board all the missionaries on the Island of Hivaoa, on Saturday morning Oct. 17th, we sailed for Olellli The place designated for the meeting of the mission, on the Island of Fatuhiva, distant from Hivaoa forty-five miles. We anchored at Oomoa, Sabbath morning. We went on shore, and soon assembled at the mission house. Here we met for prayer. We called to remembrance our landing at this same place just ten years and two months ago, the first company of Hawaiian missionaries to the Marquesas Isles. We spoke of the goodness of God, our Heavenly Father, to us, as individuals, and to the mission the past ten years. We read together with fervent hopes, the ninety-first Psalm, united our prayers, mingled our tears, and offered our praises and thanksgiving to Him for His great goodness to us. It was a blessed season, and one long to be remembered by us all. At this social hour, the Savior was with us, and we fed on living bread and drank water from the Rock that followed us, and " that Rock was Christ." The morning service with the natives was finished before we went on shore. In the afternoon we attended the native meeting, and I preached to the native congregation with Kekela for interpreter. There were fifty or more at this meeting, orderly and attentive, decently dressed, the females generally in white native cloth. After public service, there was a catechetical exercise conducted by the native church members. In the evening of the Sabbath we met for conference - - - -- �14 1 11 X FRIEND, FEBRUARY, 1864. and Marts' at the mission bouse. This was attended by several natives living near to tho mission.

Some have died in hope of tho immortality of the Gospel, and others ere living witnesses of the power of the Gospel to save from sin and sorrow, and are so tunny Lights amid suTroiitiding Darkness. In their station reports, the missionaries speak of devoting a part ol their timo to manual labor. From their dwelling-houses, their enclosures, and the cultivation around them I should judge their is no exaggeration in this item of the reports. Tlteir houses, particularly those of the oldrr missionaries, are well built, permanent dwelling!., und in They every case the work of their hands. have generally enclosures in which they grow taro, potutnoN, bananas, sugar-cane and These things should L» reother articles. garded ns commendatory nilher than Otherwise. They certainly ID this particular imitate the (.rent Apostle to the heathen, who " labored working with his hands," and called on those that attended on his ministry ns witnesses that " these hnntls have ministered unto my necessities." lint the Mari|iiesaii Islands are a hard and trying field of labor for our missionaries. There are many hindrances to the spread ol the Gospel here. I have not attended to that feature of their reports, but in nearly every report the missionaries qmk of the difficulties and obstacles they constantly meet with in the prosecution of their work. The tabu system holds a great portion of the population as with an iron gntsp. It is inwrought in their social, domestic and religious system. It operate! strongly against their schools, ngninst the Sabbath, against Christian worship nnd against the morality of the Gospel. Their tabu is their religion, their worship, and (heir God. This system is the stronghold of the •• Prince of Darkness" in these islands. The influence ol the. prientri is another chain of bondage. This class of persons is numerous in all the islands. They are believed to have tho power of lift! and death, over good and evil, to avert the one and procure the other. When they give their commands, or utter their prophecies, few date go contrary to ihein. The priest* ire opposed to the missionaries, to their schools, their instructions, their preaching, lest these should turn the people Irom them, and endanger their craft. The distilling of rum from the cocoanut is becoming a serious evil in all the islands. Distilling was introduced some years ago by an Irishman, and rum from the cocoanut is now made and drank in most of the vallies. The brethren speak of drunkenness as prevalent in their fields. It breaks up ihcir schools and is a source of evil uinong the natires. It is painful to add to the list of hin- drances to tho success of missionary work in the Marquesan Islands, the licentiousness allowed and encouraged on vessels which every year touch at these islands. Who can number the miseries that follow in quick succession the introduction of foreign rices into a community already filled with its own But with these vices and miseries the missionary at tin! Marquesas must contend, reproving the one, and healing tho other by the Gospel of the Son of God. The missionaries speak of kindnesses shown them by Captains of whaleships, and are grateful for favors. Kekela was, on one of his trips to Nukuhiva, so long detained by the winds, that his family feared he was lost, and Mother limit was sent with Liiiuha the missionary, to Nukuhiva, and Kekela was found there weather-bound. The whaleship Dromo, Capt. (Jen. W. Kae, was then lying in the Bay ol Tuiohae, Nukuhiva. The captain kindly took the two missionaries with their two boats and crew on board and carried them to I'mtmnti on Hivaoa, Kekela's station. At another time dipt. Kne was at Punmaii for supplies, and Kekela applied to him for certain articles winch the captain could not furnish, hut offered to take him to Nukuhiva where he could procure them. These and riimilar favors the missionaries desire to acknowledge, and their obligations nnd their gratitude tiny wish to express tn their bene- < lactcirs. X 1.1,,,, |>pl>,a Vr.-rls. On our arrival at the islands, it was matter of surprise to tis that none of tho natives came ofr to the schooner. Wo ran along near shore, and so near to Unpou us to set: the natives, and near the shore of Nahuga, but no natives came out to us as they arc accustomed to do. This was uftcrwards explained to UI, they feared "the kidnappers." Within the past year, there have been five vessels from the coast of Peru, among the Mar(|iiesan Islands, (heir object lieing to steal natives and transport them to Peru us laborers. They succeeded In taking nineteen from Uapou, and six from Pnamati on the Island of Hivaoa. Kauwealolm says " On thu SJiM of December, lfc)6'J, a vessel called the Empress came to the Island of Uapou, the natives were decoyed on board, conducted below, where an abundance of food had been provided for them. There they were enticed to drink to intoxication, when the ship's hatches were fastened down over them. Eight men and eleven women wen; tnken ftom here." The missionary nt Attiona, Hiuaoa, guys: the 26ih tf October, 1862, two vessels On " from the South American coast, anchored al their station, n brig and a ship, their object being to kidnap natives. Some of the men from the vessels cumo on shore, nml the nutives took possession of one of their host*, und thi! vessel left without getting any men. Hence they went to Oomoa, on the Island of Fatuhiva. We have heard these two vessels! were taken by the French and carried to Tahiti. In the month of February last, a French ship-of-wnr anchored in this Bay, (Atuona). She was looking for kidnappers. She stopped one day and then sailed in pursuit of Peruvian vessels." The kidnapping of natives, has been the occasion of the murder oft foreigner by tho natives on the Island of Uapou.

From tbe Commercial Advertiser of Thursday, 4th iust., wo condense tho following account of tho ceranionios on this occasion Tho Tuneful obsequies" of Kammiahkha IV. wore performed on A\ edncttditv lust, agreeably to publio notice given. For several dsys and evenings previous to the funeral, tho palace yards wero fillod with nutives (with now and then a few foreigners as spectators) engaged in reciting or singing metes or lamentations composed for tbe deceased King. oan be judged from The oharaeter of tneso what have appeared in the native paper, as some of iliem have been published. They are mostly ,u praise of the deceased, uccoiapuuied with songs referring to other deceased Chiefs, and events in Hawaiian history. On Tuesday night, (that preceding the funeral,) there wits a crowd of five or six thousand natives and foreigners collected around the palace, and tho scene Is ropreaunted as quito exciting. At 12 o'clock, midnight, Itishop Stalcy read the Litany over the corpnc in the throne room. There were only n few BVsßtstt, perliupe twelve or fifteen foieigners. Wednesday, the day of the funeral, was warm but pleasant, and the copious showers of the previous night had laid the dust, so that the condition of the streets was unusually favorablo for parade. At six o'clock, A. M., the battery on Punch-bowl, commonoed firing guns ovory five minutos, which wus continued till tho corpse was deposited in the tomb. At half-past 111 A. M., the line of procession commenced to move from tho front of tho palaco, through King street, the artillery corps leading, The hearse, bearing tho remains of his late Majesty, was preceded by his favorite horse, ana Prince W illiuin, hearing his sword and bat. Four white horses, dressed in black, drew the hearse, the cavalry forming a guard on each sido. Numerous kahilis were Dome sround the hearse as it moved along. Some of them wero vory rich and lofty. They arc emblems of royalty, and were loft at tho tomb, some deposited inside und others outside of the building. The coffin, which was made by Mr. Fischer, was a most elaborate piece of workmanship, of koa sod kou woods. A heavy silver plate surrounded with scroll work, and surmounted with a crown, bears the following Inscription ALEXANDER, KALANI-KUA-LIHOLIHO. : : IOLArU-MAKA-O-10l 1.1, KI'NI.'IAKr.A, KI'KAII.IMOKI'.

Kauai Revisited.—ln former years it has been our privilege to visit the beautiful Island of Kauai, where, in the language of Campbell, it might be said : "TheQueen of Spring, afl she passfd down the valr, Issfl herrobe on Die trees and her breath on the gale." Again have we visited its shores and enjoyed the kind hospitality of the people. Surely Capt. Cook was correct in the statement that the Kauniuns were frank and cheerful, living " very sociably in their intercourse with one another." If the foreign visitor could assert this, respecting the inhabitants of Kauai, in their savage state, in what language shall the visitor describe the foreign and native inhabitants, surrounded with all the means and appliances whichcivilization and Christianity have brought in their train! As we rode over the plains and explored tho valleys, we experienced health invigorating sensations at every step. Most cordially do we wish to thank kind friends on that island for their generous hospitality. It is most gratifying on our return to learn that our desk had been supplied by one the Rev. W. F. Snow—who gave such universal satisfaction. We leant that he takes passage with his wife, in the Yankee, forCalifornia. His visit has been eminently satisfactory. As he now returns to labor in the work of the gospel ministry in California, the prayers and kind wishes ofthe community will go with him. Such men, eloquent, scholarlike, and withal, ready to "stand up for Jesus," will not fail to prove a blessing to thai riaing community and thriving State. MARCH 1, 1864. The Polynesian.—lt is with no ordinary feelings of regret that we record the announcement that this weekly journal lias ceased to be published. During a period of nbout twenty years, we have been brought into very intimate relationship with the editors and printers of that sheet, and have always received the most kind nnd courteous treatment. For many years tjie Friend was published at the same office. Our spheres of operations seldom brought us into collision, hence we could " agree to disagree"' and still be very good friends. The files of that paper will show that leading editorials of marked ability have been written by Mr. Jarves, and his successors Hitchcock, Hall, Hopkins, and Fornander. Now, that said journal has become historical, in future years, its files will often be referred to by all who would understand and appreciate the difficulties and trials through which the Hawaiian nation has passed to attain its present well established position, among the civilized governments of the earth. Oahu Conference of Churches.—This ecclesiastical body met in Honolulu, Feb. 24, and continued its sessions through three days and a half. The native churches were represented by their pastors and three delegates from each church. In addition to the ordinary business, the conference ordained A. Kaoliko for the church at Waianae. The services took place at the Rev. L. Smith's church, where the following order was observed : 1. Reading of Scriptures and prayer, by Rev. Mr. Solomona. 2. Sermon, by Rev. E. W. Clark. 3. Consecrating prayer, by Rev. L. Smith. 4. Charge to candidate, by Rev. B. W. Parker. 6. Right hand of fellowship, by Rev. H. H. Parker. 6. Benediction, by Rev. A. Kaoliko. Removal.—The Rev. M. Kuaea has been called from the native church at Hauula, Oahu, to the church of the Rev. Mr. Eroerton, at Waialus. {OPI& Series, M2l_. A Day Among Cannibals: Or Adventures of a Whaleman at the Marquesas. Tho American whaleship Congress, Capt. Stranburg, sailed from New Bedford in June, 1803, ova cruiso for the North Pacific. After touching at Sydney, she called at Ilivaoa, or Uominiquo, one of the Marquesas Islands, to obtain water and fresh provisions. Arriving before the harbor oi l'uumiiu, January 13, two bouts were fitted oat with articles of trade, such as knives, flints, hatchets and muskets, to exchange for what they might wish to obtain. When tho boats had anchored in the harbor, another boat, manned with a chief and crow of native islanders, came off, who appeared very friendly and anxious to trade with the strangers, stating* that they had hogs and potatoes in abundance. Mr. Whalon, first officer of the whaleship, who had charge of the ship's boats, then transferred his trade into tho natives' boat, got in and went ashore with them, leaving his own anchored off in the harbor. Upon landing and proceeding up the valley, the natives commenced chasing pigs, caught one and tied it. While they were chasing the animals through the valley, tbe chief and Mr. Whalon stood together, and the natives were shouting, evidently for the purpose of calling tho people, for they came rushing from all parts of the valley, armed with hatcheta and knives, which at least looked suspicious. Mr. W. fearing that they meant no good, proposed to the ohief to return to the boat; upon which the latter stepped up to him, suddenly seised his hat and placed it upon his own head. This he thinks was a well-known signal among them, for he waa instantly seised by a score of natives, thrown down and stripped naked, his bands and feet bound with ropes, which the ohief had in his hands, but which he supposed were intended to tie the pigs. The natives then proceeded to tear up his clothes into small pieces, and out the buttons off, making a distribution among the crowd. After this they paid their attentions to their prisoner by pinching him severely, bending his fingers and thumbs over tbe back of his hands, wrenching his nose and torturing him in every imaginable way. They would strike at his head and limbs with their hatcheta, always missing him by a hair's breadth. For about three hours they continued to amuse themselves and torment him in this manner. He supposesthis was the custom preparatory to being killed, as it doubtless is. some of the natives tried to entice the ship's two boats to come to the shore, and Mr. W's. boatsteerer waa on the point of landing to find him, when they were warned off by a young Marquesan girl, belonging to the family of the U*>wsji an missionary Kekela.

Bach member of the mission expressed his opinion, and the following expresses very much the views of the missionaries, especially ol the first Company that went to those islands. Ist. The commencement of the mission in the Marquesas was not of our seeking, the call wns unexpected to us, and we considered it a i all from Uod, und believe we have Im'cii guided by His Spirit in undertaking this work. M. We have hail the blessing of God (luring the ten years of the mission's existence, success has followed .our labors, and we do not think it is boasting when we say, that the efforts of tho Hawaiian churches to give the gospel to tho Marquesans, have succeeded beyond that of any other missionary society. The English Missionary Society and the American Society have nt different periods sent missionaries into this field. But they all abandoned the field, home of them after several years residence here. Native teachers have been sent by the Society of Missions from Tahiti. Nearly every isInnd in the group has at sometime had native Tahiti.in teachers. Kauwealoha said, I Upon had formerly three of these Tahitinn teachers, but they abandoned the work for reasons unknown to him. * We came to these islands under the patronage of the Hawaiian Churches, we occupy atx stations, we have our congregations, our schools, our Sabbaths ana Sabbath schools—an aggregate of two hundred scholars—we have our books and readers for our books, and we have tho Church of Ood established, its rites of baptism and the Lord's supper, we have Christ here, and His kingdom. Shall we go back and abandon all ? Is it God's will ? Does Christ so command and polite, and »o well educated. Her manner and conduct at all times were ladylike. It is the host commentary of tho transforming power of religion. Kekola and hi*towife oould *peak broken English, just enough Is' understood, and supplied all his want*. After Mr. Whalon had boon released, and escaped to Kekola's house, he inquired the cause of his seiiure by the natives, and learned that it was done out ot revenge for tho kidnapping of Marquesan* by the Peruvians, who had stolen a cargo of men and women Irom this and the neighboring island*. Some of thaan kidnapis-d natives had been returned by the Peruvian Government, but many had died on tlie rausage to or from Peru, while others had had various diseases including thosnvall-pox, which they brought back to tho group, and wa* spreading over the islands. Tho Marquesan* were so inoetwod with these outrages of the Peruvians, that they took vengoanoo on any foreigners that might fall into their power, regardless who they ware.

Where is the society that will send missionaries here if we withdraw ? To give up the mission is, we think, giving the islands ovor to the reign of pagan durkness. After a long discussion the following preamble and resolution were passed and recorded in the minutes of the meeting, as the result of their deliberation : I. We believe Ood in His providence directed us to this field of labor, to call this people from pagan idolatry. 11. Some of us have labored here ten years, teaching nnd preaching the Gospel of Christ to the inhabitants of these islands, and cannot forsake them. 111. (Jod bus helped us—the gospel has saved some, as we truly believe, and they have been joined to the family of Christ, witnesses for him of the Truth and the Life. Therefore, Risolved, That we ought not In abandon work of the Lord in these islands and return to Hawaii, but we will steadily pursue our work here and spread the Light of Life among this people.They were unanimous in this expression ol their opinion, they could live and labor here, in poverty, if it must be, hut could not abandon the lieltl. The mission must be continued. (he A Nrw Minion in I looninl on the Nnkiihivia. l.liiml of During the last year several requests have been made to the missionaries, by a chief, to locate one ol their number in this valley. They visited the valley several times and spent three or four Sabbaths there, the peoplo were Iriendly, and desired to have a missionary located among them. The chief gave them u piece of land on which to build and cultivate. They sent forward two church members, a mnn and his wife, to begin the the work. This man and his wife are still in the valley of Ilnonmi, ami have been visited several times by the missionaries. They an- teaching and doing good among the unlives. Kekela says, Kaiwi and himself in their visit to Nukiihivu called upon the French Governor, who made many inquiries about their missionary work on llivaoa nnd Fiituhiva, of their schools, meetings, church members. Kekela asked if lie would object to one of their number being located in Nuknhiva. The (iovernor replied, that if the native chief desired it, he should not make any objections to it. The missionaries bud deferred the linal decision of the question till their general meeting;. After discussing the subject, it was decided not to locate now, n permanent missionary .in llooiiini, but that Kauwcalohn, who has his location nearer than any other missionary to this place, should have the care of it, anil visit it as he findsan opportunity, with a reference lo an ultimate occupancy, il the wny should open clearly for ii.

The missionaries voted to ask that one more missionary be sent to that field. The Board is requested to send another missionary to them when next a vessel visits the Marquesan mission. Salaries Oftawj Mlaolassarira. This subject came up in the meeting. They rcgurd their salaries as low, too low to meet their wants, and would like an increase of salary. After stating to them that the Board was disposed to do what it could in supplying their wants, und furnishing means for the prosecution of their work; that the mission was an ex|>cnsive one, including the cost of getting .supplies to them ; ihut fields were opening in Micronesia for Hnwuimn laborers, who, probably, must be supported by the Hawaiian churches, and only a part of the church members are to be relied upon for contributions. After stating to them these ihings, they had free conversation and seeineil perfectly satisfied to leave tbe subject of salaries without asking any increase. There is no evidence of waste in their use of missionary funds—they incline to regard then as a sacred trust. None of the wives of the missionaries lelt their stations to attend the general meeting,as that would have delayed the vessel at each of the stations. They also arranged to have the schooner stop at only two of the four stations, Kekela offering his whulobout and limit's crew to take the other two missionaries ami their •fleets to their stations. This was probably a saving of some two or three days. 11..- Minissarr trawl. This is the vessel uliout which Kekela wrote last year to the Directors, by asking for materials to enable them to go on with this work. It was nearly linished and ready to luirnch when we arrived at the islands. Some of the necessary articles for the work hud been obtained from whnleships. An anchor and chain had been sold to them from our schooner. It is a sloop of '32 feet keel, 12 feet beam, \ feet depth of hold, und is by measurement MA tons.

It is not always safe to trust to llieir whulchtials in going from one islund to another. They wish occasionally to see each other for conference about their work; sometimes to visit Nukiihivu, which is 120 miles distant from Futuhiva, where in case of need they can get supplies. There is at times a luck of food in some purts of the islands, when there is a supply in another, and with this sloop they can provide against want und famine in times of scarcity. I stated lo them the views of the Directors of the Missionary Society in regard to the vessel,—that they thought the foreigner might lay claim to it when finished, that it would be expensive after it was finished, that they would find it difficult to manage without intruding too much upon their misges made by the small-pox. Tho subject of biennial visits to the mis- sionary work. Moreover it was understood ■ion in future was talked of, and the brethren from Mr. fiicknell, that the missionaries expressed the opinion thnt it 19 the Messrs. Lawsons and himself, when they needed one. Also, that it was not, under existing circumstances, thought proper to appropriate mission funds for the building of the vessel. They replied—Kekela said, when he wrote for the articles, he did not intend to ask for funds from the Missionary Society to finish the vessel, but supposed he might obtain them on credit. The foreigner, they thought, who began the work could have no claim on the vessel. He had given up the work, and being in debt to the chief, he took the vessel and sold it to Kekela and his associates. Foreigners living there expressed to me the opinion. The missionaries say, they cannot avail themselves of the vessel built by Mr. Bicknell and the Messrs. Lawsons, either for passage or freight. When the sloop is finished, it is to be put in charge of an old seaman, a trustworthy Hawaiian living there. As they hud nearly finished it, and had done the work without any appropriation from mission funds, it did not seem proper or best lo do more than state the views of the Directors. They were cautioned, and the hope expressed that it would mil occupy theirtime and same attention to the detriment of their great work. On Wednesday ufternoon we had u religious meeting for the natives, and the same evening the missionaries and native church members united in celebrating tho Lord's supper. The meeting of the mission for tho transaction of business closed on Thursday noon. Oomoa wns designated as the place for the next general meeting in 1805. In die afternoon we hud our last social meeting for prayer and conference, after which we went on board the schooner, and sailed on our return passage the same evening. We touched at Hivaoa and left the brethren of that island, and passed on to Uapou where wo arrived early Subbnth morning. Here we stopped until Tuesday evening, when we took leave of the mission family there and sailed again for the Hawaiian Islands, October 27th, and arrived at Honolulu, Novcmlier 17th, after a passage of 21 days from Uupou, and 84 days irom the time we sailed from Oahu. Respectfully submitted, B. W. Parkei. Longevity of Missionaries.—Of 134 missionaries who have gone from the Andover Theological Seminary up to 1858, the average term of missionary service was about 14 years. Of the (id who were living at tbe expiration of this period, the nverage duration of missionary service was already 17J, and was of course growing larger. Fifteen of the entire number were in the missionary field more than 30 years, and two saw 44 years of service. The nverage duration of the missionary labor ol 250 missionaries in India was found to lie nearly 17 years. Muny of these returned and lived many years in their native lands after they left the missionary field. These statistics show that the average probability of life is not greatly reduced by engaging in missionary service. Those who go forth to preach the Gospel to the beatheu do not by any means devote themselves surely to an early grave—they may even secure u considerable extension rjf would meet could avail therriselves of the vessel builtby life by the change of climate. �THE FRIENED, MARCH, 18 6 1. 20 THE FRIEND, MARCH 1, In«i. New Book. Journal or a Residence on a Georgian Plantation, in 1838—1839. By Frances Anne Kemblc. If any of our readers are the apologists for Southern slavery, or are inclined to secession, we earnestly reccommend the reading of this volume. The writer, known throughout the wide world, as Fanny Kemble, the celebrated actress, has shown up the state of society at the South in a style, that we have no idea the chivalry of the South will be grateful for. She describes the treatment which the females receive on the plantations of the South, in language which we should suppose would make the advocates and apologists for slavery, hang their heads and cover their faces for shame. Her sketches arc no work of fiction. She has not drawn upon her imagination. She writes as only a woman can write, and simply describes what she witnessed from day to day on her own husband's plantation, and that plantation regarded as one of the " better sort." Then in the name of reason and humanity, what are the "baser sort?" Legree's estate, in " Uncle Tom," is no fancy sketch ! Are there not many such ? Her sympathies are with the North in this terrible struggle ; and her letter to the Times, and another to " C. G., Esq.," show that she wields the pen of a vigorous and powerful writer. Her language is sometimes scathing, yet exceedingly polished and choice. The book is very opportune, and its publication, in both England and America, will serve an important end in shaping that public sentiment which is now forming lo give Secession and Slavery their death blow. Perusing this book, written by a strongminded English woman, the reader perceives the beauty and force of that outburst of indignation, in " Sterne's Sentimental Journey," when he looked upon the encaged bird "Disguise thyself as thou wilt.still slavery thou art a bitter draught! and though thousands in all ages have been made to drink of thee, thou art no less bitter on that account. 'Tis tbou, thrice sweet and gracious goddess, Liberty, whom all, in public and in private, worship, whose taste is grateful, and ever will be so till Nature herself shall change. No tint of words can spot thy snowy mantle, or chemical power turn thy sceptre into iron. With thee to smile upon him, as he eats his •rust, the swain is happier than the monarch from whose court thou art exiled. Grant me but health, thou great bestower of it, and give me this fair goddess (Liberty) as my companion, and shower down thy mitres, if it ■earn good unto thy Divine Providence, upon those heads which are aching for them." : Marquesan Mythology. The inhabitants of the Murquesan Islands have the reputation of being a wild, fierce, revengeful and cannibal race of beings. In our columns we now publish a narrative calculated to establish that reputation ; yet they are not altogether destitute of some of the finer feelings of the human heart. Read the " Marquesan mother's lament for her dying boy," translated by Mr. Lawson. Wo have in our possession numerous translations by this same gentleman, some of which we may hereafter publish. This gentleman and his brother have long been residents upon those islands. Our correspondent, Mr. Thomas C. Lawson, has devoted much attention to the language and mythology of the Marquesan Islands. He seems to be firmly of the opinion that he can trace in the Marquesan legends (meles or varanas,) allusions to Hebrew rites and ceremonies, names and personages. He has sent us a list of words, which is quite too long for us to print, but the following we copy: Hebrew. Ahah. Uaal. „Cain. , BWAwaWaw. Marquenan. Ahapa. I'elc. I Kcna, Iletekia. ~ J Mraniiuj. Precision. Name of gtakless on Hawaii. Orlcf i sorrow. Also, name ofasea-blnl. Mr. Lawson remarks, in regard to these names : "Many persons are living who bear these names, and I have asked them how they got their names. They invariably answer, that their names have descended to them from their ancestors.' The other day I asked Taua Mohotio how she came to get that name ? She told tnc that it had descended to her from her ancestors on the island of Hivuoa. On that island it is pronounced Mohatia ; but on this island, Mohotio." He adds : " I would also remark that many volumes might be written about the names of Murquesans. They have each a great many names, and each name is significant of their own personal history, or the history of their ancestors. In fact the Marquesan names of persons and places are a series of historical records from the earliest times up to the present day." Mr. Lawson is of the opinion that, in the Marquesan mythology, he can trace relics of the ancient Grecian deities, " Oceanus and Jupiter," and, finully, that "cannibalism" has some affinity with the ancient worship of Moloch. We have lying before us a poem or song of 52 stanzas, translated from the Marquesan language, and sung at the Feast of the ' " Moneko new invite* ye all To ootne and obtain tbe prize. Clap, clap your bands, jour voioes raise— Press forward now, and gain the prise Clap, olap your tenuis, and beat tbe drum— Kodtem yourselves ! Come now ! 0 oome ! ka. ' Ourreaders will not probably be interested in all which Mr. Lawson has written and studied out during his residence among the Marquesans, but we cannot refrain from adding this remark, that however debased and degraded the Marquesans may be, still their language and traditions possess much interest to those who are willing to devote time and attention to their study. While we mourn over their savage barbarity, let us do all in our power to civilize and christianize them. The Bible appreciated by the Samoans. 11l a communication from the Rev. Mr. Nisbet, dated Maltm, Upolu, one of the Samoan or Navigator islands, we find the following allusion to the circulation of the Bible among those islanders. A new edition ha.«. just been published by the B. and P. Bible Society, and a consignment had just been received and sold among the people. " Our share of the first installment was disposed of at once. * * * As an evidence of the fact that our people appreciated the beautiful und blessed volume, I may mention that a month or two after their arrival I forwarded the B. and F.

Indeed, we hope to pay the Society all the outlay for all the impressions ol 10,000 copies, as we formerly did for 15,000 copies of the New Testament." In regard to the general interests of the Mission, Mr. Nisbet remarks " For years back our Mission lias been very short-handed. What with deaths and departures, we have become very few. Hence it is with a largo measure of pleasure we now look forward to the arrival of a reinforcement, who are on their way with Dr. Turner, and whom we expect in December. Dr. Turner is returning to his post after an absence of four years, during the greater part of which he has been very busy taking the Scriptures tind other works through the press. On his arrival, he. will resume his post in the duties of the institution for training native teachers, which has proved rather n heavy task for us to carry on single-handed. Our establishment is full, having 93 pupils, 88 ranking in the department preparing for the office of teach- : Human Sacrifice."

The principal object of Missionaries in going among a heathen and ignorant people, is to teach them the great and important truths of the Bible, but especially the way of salvation by a crucified Redeemer. This object cannot be fully accomplished without bringing about many otherresults. It would be an easy matter to show the benefits which have resulted to commerce in the Pacific by the establishment of Christian missions on the numerous islands of Polynesia. This subject is distinctly brought to our notice by the late visit of the whaleship Congress to the Marquesan Islands. We have copied from the Commercial Advertiser, the admirably written article, " A Day among the Cannibals." Wo hope our readers will give that article a careful perusal, and at the same time read another article on page 22d, relattng to kidnapping Polynesians, for let it be borne in mind, it was on this account that the Marquesans were determined to take Mr. Whalon's life. We are glad to learn that Capt. Stranburg most liberally rewarded the Rev. Mr. Kekela, by furnishing him with sails, cable, and rigging for the missionary schooner, referred to in the report of the Rev. Mr. Parker on page 19. In our humble opinion this is not enough, the Rev. Mr. J. Kekela, the Rev. Mr. A. Kaukau and their friendly natives and that German carpenter deserve something We are glad to learn that the more. has attracted the attention of our subject Mr. Mcßride, and that he Resident, Minister the communicate facts to the State Dewill at We sincerely Washington. partment hope the subject will not be allowed to pass unnoticed. If when the natives of some savage island kill n sailor or destroy a vessel, they are visited by a man-of-war and fired at, why should not those bo rewarded who save life and shipping by their timely interference ? If the United States Government would promote the welfare of commerce, and protect the lives of seamen, it could not do so more effectually than, from time to time, rewarding those who render important services. The instance now under consideration is a case in point. Let it be remembered, that it was at this very island, Dominique, that the American whaleship Twilight was wrecked in June 1859; and in that instance, the missionaries of the Hawaiian Missionary Society rendered important aid to the wrecked ship's company. The crew and portions of the wreck were brought to Honolulu on board Feeling among - 21 for Urn rrttad. the Loyal People of the The Marquesan Mother’s Lament for her North. As the war in America is protracted from month to month, and year to year, it becomes a subject of interest as to the feeling among the substantial farming and Christian people of the North, among those who have sent their fons, husbands, brothers and friends to the war. From a correspondent in Kent, Ct., we have received a letter, from which we copy as follows : "As Americans, you must feel the deepest interest in the great struggle going on here between Lilierty and Slavery. I believe that the bow of promise, with its silver lining, is growing brighter every day, and that in God's good time we shall again be a united and happy people, freed from that great curse of slavery, which has brought upon us God's righteous judgments." From the Rev. E. T. Doane, of the Micronesian Mission, but now on a visit to the United States, we have received a letter, dated Geneseo, N. V., Dec. 14, 1863, from which we quote ns follows : " I can write you nothing new of the war; you have more than I can tell. But let mc say, it is wonderful to see how much united the North is, and how the churches are feeling this war is a war rather for the extension of Christ's Kingdom, than the subjugation of territory. It does one good to see and hear what I do from the ministry and the great majority of church members. There is no doubt as to the issue : and then all praise to the Prince of Peace, who will have gotten to himself the victory." From August Unshelm, Esq., Hamburg Consul at Apia, Samoa, we would acknowledge a copy of the Bible in the Samoan language, and also a copy of a new London publication, entitled, " Missions in Western Polynesian, by A. W. Murray, twenty-five years a missionary in Polynesia, in connection with the London Missionary Society." In our next issue we shallnotice this work. It is beautifully illustrated and neatly printed, and contains 489 pages. Per schooner Helen, we would acknowledge a package of publications in the Samoan language from the Rev. Henry Nisbet. Among these we are pleased to find u copy of the Samoan Dictionary—English and Samoan, and Samoan and English, with a short grammar of the Samoan dialect." It is neatly printed, at Samoa, at the London the Morning Star. Missionary Society's Press: 1862.

The Freedman.—This is the title of a neatly executed little sheet, published monthly by the American Tract Society, Boston, for the benefit of the freedman of the United States. We are glad to see this name, freedman, given to the man who was formally accounted a chattel, but now is regarded as an American citizen. All honor to those who are laboring to educate the young among this interesting class. It is a noble field of usefulness, and we shall be much mistaken if the Christian churches of the North fail to do this work nobly and worthy of a great and Christian people. of Wealth.—Wealth belongs just as intellect belongs to others. They would be rich anywhere, just as their envious neighbors would be poor anywhere. At an agrarian meeting in this city about twenty years ago, a gentleman of property obtained n hearing and forcibly argued this point. Addressing a sailor near him, who had been prominent in the proceedings, he asked i " What would you have me do with my Jack’s Idea to some men, money ? " " Divide it equally among us all," replied Jack. " That would give us about 110 each, and to-morrow 1 should have 99 60 of mine left, while yours would be gone. What then ?" my timbers !

When they supposed the hour had arrived at which they had been wont, with their families, to worship God in their happy homes—now no longer theirs they united in their accustomed exercises ; they prayed and sang praises to God, and, no doubt, like their friends on shore, sought blessings for the miserable men by whom they were being so cruelly wronged.

Ms. KtilTti×Sis :—When the liark Cmnjrrun was 7ft mllei eait from Sydney, Nov. 28th, 1883,a few minutes liefore 3 o'clock In tho morning, we discovered smoke coming out from the lower hold through the fore hatch. All hands were called immediately, and water wai passed down in bucketi; but the smoke wii 10itrangling that the men could not nay below the upper deck. The smoke was so thick that we could not tell which lide tho ship waa on lire. 1 ordered all hand! to come on deck, and to batten down the hatchways, so that the fire should have no vent. Wo nailed a tarpaulin over the two hatchway!, cut a round hole through the center, rigged barrels both ildes of the ihlp, hoisted In water, anil einplinl It through the hole In the tarpaultne. Wo continued lo until 3 o'clock next afternoon. I found by sounding the pumpi, that the off before the lower hold was full of water. I iwurnt the ship wind to makeher roll, and kept her rolling a few minutes, then lulled her to the wind again, took the tarpaulin oh* the fore hatch, found the water over the coinblngi of thu lower deck, and the tire extinguished. A load was taken from my shoulder! when I found my ship waa safe. We commenced hoisting the waterout of the hold with barrels and pumping with both pumps, and at 12 o'clock the next night hail the ship dry. We were twelve hours filling tin- ship, ami ninenoun pumping her dry, making 21 houn hard work. Such work I never wiih to experience again | it la neither profitable nor pleasant, capecially when a man Is lick. We found by overhauling, that the Are wu made by some of the crew, in the lower hold forwanl, about ten leet abaft the fore hatchway, well over to theside of the ship. If we had known where the Are was, we oould not have got water there. It was too far from the hatch. We found two beams and one oarllng badly burnt, the two kneel between the beami entirely gone, the lower deck burnt through In one place, and also the celling of the ihlp burnt through and the outer plank burnt some. I lost all my fresh water, stopped at Monganul to get more, and camion to Honolulu torepair ihlp.

We hear the rumor that strenuous efforts will be made at the coining meeting of the Hawaiian Legislature to repeal the present liquor-law, and also to allow distillation. The native is going, dying—there are now two deaths to one birth, and we think that should the advocates of liquor and lucre succeed in their injurious schemes, then we may exclaim in the language of the auctioneers, "gone." We cannot believe that the representatives of the nation will be so mad upon the ruin of this people as to open the flood-gates. We hear planters crying out that laborers are wanted, and philanthropists mourning over the rapid extinction of the Hawaiians, and now to suppose the representatives of this people will set another and still another agent to work out this people's extinctionappears perfectly preposterous. Nobly have the native law-makers of this nation resisted the tide of intemperance that was setting over this land. We should suppose that every sensible person when he witnesses the evils of intemperance among foreigners and the chiefs of the islands, would do every thing in his power to keep the common people from plunging into the sea of intemperance. But we hear the reply—the planters need the profits accruing from rummaking. But is any one so verdant aa to suppose that those very planters will not suffer when their laborers are allowed the free use of intoxicating liquors ? We know of planters now suffering on that very account! But the evils to the land resulting from the proposed changes, would be too wide spread and ruinous for us to describe in a full sheet of our paper, and hence, with this brief allusion to this important subject, we would say, " better let well enough alone" and " make hnste slowly." 25 IteibSttits, »oL2I.

Mt Fabm or Eimikwoon : A Country Book —By the Antbor ot Reveries of a Bachelor" and "Dream Life." New York Charles Soribner. 1808. " : Any person having read this writer's former works will be interested to take a peep at this. It is worthy of perusal as it presents vivid pictures of farm-life in New England. Portions of the book have appeared in the " Atlantic Magazine." The book is dedicated to Gen. Williams, whose address we publish in another part of our column*. In the dedication the writer (who is well known as Mr. Mitchell of New Haven, son of a former minister of Norwich, Ct.,) thus alludes to Gen. Williams: " In grateful recognition of his many kindnesses, dating from the time he aided me in my first care of a New England farm, and in token of my respect for his worth." We take the liberty here to remark, that Oahu College," and " Ike Marvel" are not " the only objects to which Gen. Williams has seen fit to extend a friendly and sympathizing hand, calling for grateful recognition; we feel ourselves to be his debtor, and should we ever aspire to the honors of authorship, there is no person to whom we should feel more inclined to dedicate our books. But to return to the work the title of which stands at the head of these paragraphs, we must add that there is just one line and one allusion, in this book, with which we are dispersed to find fault On �THE FRIEND, APRIL, 18 6 4. page 77, the writer remarks, " The American eagle is (or was) a fine bird." This slur on the American eagle is unworthy of a place in this or any other book written by a man living in the loyal States. As if the American eagle was not now as fine a bird as he was before a band of traitors and conspirators undertook to cut offhis head. We know not how loyal Americans in New England regard slurs cast upon the American eagle, but loyal Americans abroad feel exceedingly sensitive upon this point, and we are fully confione dent the time is not far distant when from forth come great and noble people will this terrible conflict, chastened but not divided—free, great, and self-reliant, and ready to echo back the sentiment of James Otis of revolutionary memory, "We call no man master." It is seldom a book contains so few exceptionable and objectionable points. There is scarcely another line or word which we should wish altered. The writer has manifested great refinement and discernment in the introduction and treatment of topics which most writers would have utterly failed to treat upon in a literary style. There is a certain species of delicate and exquisite execution in many pages of the book, which place the writer among the very first of the literary men of the age. The off-hand allusions to scientific works, and the reference to classic writers of Greece and Rome, indicate that the writer has not confined his reading to the light literature of the age. Death of the Rev. T.Starr King. All the California papers come to us draped for the death of this distinguished orator, patriot, and divine, who died March 4th, of diptheria, in the city of San Francisco. Every civic, religious and masonic honor was paid to his remains, which sympathy, esteem, and gratitude could suggest. A telegram from Washington ordered minute guns to be fired from the forts. His services and eloquence have contributed, in an important sense, to sustain the Union cause on this side of the Rocky Mountains. We hope the echo of his eloquent and patriotic appeals will not cease to reverberate among the hills and canons of the Pacific slope, until all murmurs of discontent and hissings of secession shall cease from among the people.

''fa&lmptoVmm, af D|osa«*'«*,) ThGerEUtIamfnioglrihraetodmSn tates. Soma yerfrsago a West Indiaman had discharged jts cargo in one of our docks at home. The «»P vfhs plagued by rats as ' was plagued. Their devastations, q»ref ship their odor, their destructions had noise, their teen beydnd mortal endurance, but there was no remedy. The captain who was still on board, was waked at midnight, by his mate, and asked to step on deck as quietly as he ' could. A fruit ship had arrived in the course of thevday from the Mediterranean, and coming alongside had passed a hawser to the West.lndiamnn. "Look there!" whispered the mate pointing to the rope, which in the darkness seemed to be moving slowly toward the fruit ship. It was alive with rats, which in a continuous stream were migrating from the empty ship to the stranger, whose fragrance told the tale of delicious freight. Before sunrise there was not a rat left on board tha West Indiaman. How it fared with tbejrtranger it is needless to say. That is the very spectacle we are now witnessing on a world-wide scale. The hawser is across the Atlantic, and in one incessant, endless train, hundreds of thousands of our fellow citizens are passing to a richer continent. Its fragrance comes in letters, full of good tidings, and containing often the substantial earnest of golden promises in the shape of notes or orders for pleasant round sums. Could we take the same view of human affairs that the skipper and mate did of their little world, we would tread softly, and think the less said the better. But we cannot quite do that. Itis part of our erew that is leaving us in this strange and multitudious fashion. They are passing generally to another allegiance, to other laws, to other institutions, to rival interests, to a jealous policy, and, as they think, to assist in founding an empire far above even our heads. But as they are consulting their own material interests, and certainly sparing us some trouble, they are welcome to go where they please, and to marry a better soil than that from which they have been divorced. We are disposed to take a philosophical view of the movement, and are glad to find that for once we may be both scientific and kind. The man who suddenly reappears in an Irish cabin with his pockets full of notes and gold, dishandsome presents, sleek, comely I wen dressed, asking the girl of his earchoice to share his new home, is a vision it conquers all our sentimental scruples, it appears he has done the remaining paotism of Ireland. Every such man is a ilumbus in Connaught. There is no reiting him. The odds are tremendous ainst Queen Victoria and tenpence a day, e Established Church' and potatoes, the nion Workhouse and yellow meal—even pposing we can always answer for our side • Iuting Decrease at Romanists States. tbe Catholic Herald, published in Philadelphia, contains an editorial, calling upon Roman Catholics to forsake the " common schools," and patronize exclusively the " parochial schools" of the church. Of the common schools it says, "The holy Father fears them. The bishops fear them. The Church has lost—irretrievably lost, tens of thousands of children by them." It concludes the article with the following; appeal, betraying fear and despondency. What is to be done? How long will this" shame and scandal be suffered to continue ? Will it go on unchecked in the future, as it has gone on in the past ? Irish Catholics, ye in the main—for in the main ye compose the Church—are at fault! What has come over ye ? Where is the resplendent Catholic spirit that distinguished ye in Ireland ? In that country, ye would have suffered ten thousand martyrdoms rather than collude with the enemiesof the faith. But in America that loftiness nf heart expires, and your oivn sons and daughters degenerate from St. Patrick and St. Bridget. Have ye forgotten that the most glorious ornament in the crown of old Ireland, is its supernatural firmness to the faith, in spite of the dreadful sanguinary despotism of England for three hundred years ? Are the Protestant schools there frequented by Catholic children? Go into St. John's church: who occupy its pews ? Not the descendants of the Irish people who built it. The same thing is true of St. Mary's, of St. Augustine's, of every old Catholic church in the city—nay of every old Catholic church in the land. In the great main, it is new emigrants that keep up the Church in America. Why is this ? Where are the children of the early emigrants—of the builders of the churches ! They are lost to Rome! It is a fair calculation, that if the Irish Catholics who have come to Philadelphia during the last eighty years, had preserved in their own hearts, and instilled into the hearts of their children, the sublime Christianity that marked them at home, Philadelphia would have, to-day, twenty-five Catholic churches more than it has. Twenty-five churches—that is, a hundred thousand of Irish descent—lost to the Church in a single city, in so short a space of time as fourscore years! Well might the illustrious Archbishop Lennox, sorrowfully exclaim, that the Church in America has lost more than it has gained." the comparison. O" Gen. Grant, when rallied recently about the persistent use of his name by the New York Herald for the Presidency, said: I aspire only to one political office. When "the war is over I mean to run for Mayor of Galena (his place of residence.) And if eleetkd, I intend to have, the side-walk fixed up between my house and the depot." in the United ' of Punch, after its establishment in 1841, his wit and power of scathing sarcasm had full play! Some years later, " Vanity Fair," his first successful novel, was produced, and this was followed by "Pendennis." which, like the former, was published as a serial and was concluded in the year 1850. His success as a lecturer mid his latter works are of such recent date that itis hardly worth while to speak of them at length, here. He made two visits to the United States, and was cordially received. Boy Choristers.—It may seem a pleasant thing for a boy to get employment as a chorister in a church or cathedral, but according to some real testimony of a canon of Carlisle, England, given before a committee of the House of Commons, the lads whose duty it is to do the singing are afforded hut little time for education. They are in church or practicing for three or four hours every day in the week, and get small pay—in some cases, no pay at all, only board and lodging. In Carlisle there is a nominal provision for the education of the chorister-boys at the Cathedral grammar school, but the schoolhouse conflict with those of the cathedral, and the official return is that they receive "a scrambling education." The number of these boys employed in each cathedral in England vary from ten to sixteen. The evils of their condition form one branch of the subject now engaging the attention of church reformers in England. Ma. Sumner's Speech.—The London Star publishes a very full sketch of the speech of Senator Sumner on our " Foreign Relations," and has a long editorial on the subject. The Star says : " The Hon. Charles Sumner has not belied the confidence inspired by a long and illustrious career. He is as firmly as ever the friend of peace between Great Britain and America. His speech at New York on the 10th September, is indeed heavy with charges against France and England. But it is an appeal for justice, not an incentive to strife. It is a complaint of hopes disappointed, of friendship withheld ; of errors adopted and obstinately maintained. It is, however, an argument which does honor even to those against whom it is urged, and which aims to establish future relations of the closest alliance. Senator Sumner's chief reproach is this—that we have acted unworthily of ourselves ; unfaithful to our deepest Thackeray.—In the death of William convictions and best memories.
